this way you're ignoring the start time of the next timer.

Moreover, imagine following scenario:

now it's 01:00
next timer is at 03:00 (two hours later)

vdr calls the shutdown script, which just creates the /tmp/.shutdown file.
at the same time, some of the CMD_LST programs is running.

The script called from cron checks for that file  /tmp/.shutdown
and doesn't shutdown.

at 03:00 all progs in CMD_LST are finished and the system is turned off
although there's an active timer (recording something).
