[vdr] Re: Shutdown during recording

Hello Sergei,

>what exactly does it mean?
> (b) VDR did it, but the script decided not to shutdown

I use the following script:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# $Id: vdrshutdown,v 1.10 2002/03/15 22:25:38 bistr-o-math Exp $

NVRAMCMD=/usr/local/bin/nvram-wakeup
sudo $NVRAMCMD -ls $1 
case $PIPESTATUS in
     0) # all went ok - new date and time set
        sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now
        EXITSTATUS=0
        ;;
     1) # all went ok - new date and time set.
        #
        # *** but we need to reboot. ***
        #
        # for some boards this is needed after every change.
        #
        # for some other boards, we only need this after changing the
        # status flag, i.e. from enabled to disabled or the other way.
        
        
        # For plan A (see README file for more details) - uncomment
        #            the touch line (don't forget to change your boot
script)
        #            and comment out the lilo line
        #
        # For plan B - uncomment the lilo line and comment out the touch
line
        #            (don't forget to install the modified kernel image
first)
        #
        # touch /nvramboot
        #lilo -R PowerOff
        /VDR/grub_reboot
                
        sudo /sbin/shutdown -r now
        EXITSTATUS=0
        ;;
     2) # something went wrong
        # don't do anything - just exit with status 1
        EXITSTATUS=1
        ;;
esac

# exit with 0 if everything went ok.
# exit with 1 if something went wrong.
exit $EXITSTATUS

(you might want to ckeck the last parameter as well)
So, case 2) seems to be causing the problem in my script?

I think I should describe the situation what caused this question.
While e.g. I was recording channel 1 (eg. 20:15 to 21:45, which caused a
recoring time until 21:55), I watched
an other channel. At 21:46 I switched to channel 1 to see if the
recorded movie has ended (which was the case).
Now I decided to shutdown vdr because everything was finished. This was
not possible as described above.
I had to cancel the recording timer and then do the shutdown.
