I also copied the runvdr command-line as shown by ps, and added the -n 
option (don't daemonize) :

/usr/sbin/runvdr -n -k -v /home/video -c /var/lib/vdr -r 
/usr/lib/vdr/vdr-recordingaction -s /usr/lib/vdr/vdr-shutdown -w 60

(run as root)

My goal was primarily to have a file containing stderr/stdout in normal 
running : while vdr is run from boot. An output-to-file mode would be great.
