Hi Frank, Could this be the cause of the watchdog exit I get more or less regularly when my infosat/tvm2vdr.pl scripts are sending status updates via SVDRP ? Afaik could this cause the watchdog to fire when another SVDRP command comes in ? The script does a little more status messages than the original scripts. SVDRP messages are send around each ~30sec. However I may give your suggestion a try. I would happily live again with a broken pipe instead of the exit ;-) regards Peter P.S. it's quite anoying here as it causes from time to time kernel panic caused by some race condition when reloading the DVB drivers. vdr-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx schrieb am 19.07.2006 12:59:36: > Hi, > > I would like to raise an issue with SVDRP.
