Description

Author: Winfried Köhler

The exec Plugin integrates Timer for Actions / Shell commands into VDR.
Action can be:

  • a shell command (1 to 255 chars including quoting; colon not allowed.)
  • shutdown your VDR computer
  • a Warning message in OSD
  • a Info message in OSD

"exec timers" can be managed using main menu or remotely by SVDRP. Each Exec Timer can be programmed as

  • single shot Timer (just executed once an deleted after that automatically)
  • weekly repeated Timer (week days depending on setting: MTWTFSS)
  • immediately run background Timer, where "immediately" means started within a minute
