[vdr] Feature request: "shutdown when recording finishes"

[Laz <laz@club-burniston.co.uk>]

Hi,

I have a (hopefully) simple feature request:

My vdr box is off most of the time and gets turned on when required, etc. If I 
am recording something and I go out in the middle of the recording, it would 
be nice to be able to press the power button and have it shut down 
immediately after the recording has finished, like it does with an automatic 
startup, rather than sitting there for the activivity timeout (2h, or so). 
The same sort of thing is sometimes present in CD-recording software: shut 
down PC when finished writing.

It works fine as it is but it would be nice to be able to trick vdr into 
thinking that it was an automatic startup rather than a manual startup or 
there has been some user interaction.

I had a bit of a look near the end of vdr.c but couldn't work out the logic of 
all the tests for whether to shut down or not: I was hoping for something 
like a "manual start" flag which could be tested later but I don't think 
there is one.

Cheers,

Laz
