hi ml,

i just found out the following:
it does also work with vdr-1.1.27 if i neither give the '--daemon' option
to vdr, nor give the '--background' option to the start-stop-daemon.
but then the shell ( where it gets started from ) is still waiting for its
exit, that's no good if started on system init.

vdr-1.0.4 doesn't accept the '--daemon' option, putting out:
...
starting 'video disc recorder' daemon: vdrvdr: can't run in daemon mode
with DEBUG_OSD or REMOTE_KBD on!
...

but in combination with '--background' it works. why doesn't vdr-1.1.27 do
the same? it also doesn't show the warning above...

bye,
daniel
