Actually I don't want to be pushy, but IMO the script does not have all
the information it usually has: the next timer event. Correct me if I'm
wrong, but I don't see any use for timers in the past so no information
would be lost if vdr sent the next event. The information if the
shutdown was active or due to a timeout can still be obtained by the 5th
parameter. 
Anyways, I guess I'm just going to patch my vdr, if you happen to decide
to change it in the official version just let me know, I will send you
the patch :-)
