I use nvram wakeup for shutting down. The box then wakes up automatically for the next recording. The downside is that you need to patch vdradmin to get it work with this. If you just want the box to shut down, use vdr command line options for a shutdown command. For initscripts, I installed runit to speed up the boot. Then vdr is there as just one service. yours, Jouni
