It also needs to cope with being shut down by a signal without any possibility of user intervention. Two levels should be available: stop now, and stop when inactive. This helps init scripts when upgrading a packaged-for-$DISTRIBUTION version of vdr since there's no guarantee that the upgrade won't be scheduled for when nothing is being recorded. -- | Darren Salt | linux or ds at | nr.
