You're right, everything behaves like the documentation says. But I'd
still consider this a bug in vdr, because it does not pass any
information about the next timer (in the future) to the shutdown script.
Therefore the script can do nothing but refuse to shutdown. Considering
that the user actually has to confirm that he does want to shutdown
despite ongoing recordings, I'd prefer sending the time of the next
timer to the script.
