The downside of this would be that again several external tasks would fight for one resource: the time set in VDR. And it wouldn't be much different from the current possible solution to compare the VDR wakeup time with other wakeup times in the shutdown script. For the 0.2 patch, I've added the interface for plugins to modify the wakeup time. That way it shouldn't be too difficult to implement a task scheduler plugin that can be extended to everyone's need, and to implement basic scheduling in existing plugins. (epgsearch for example could implement a wakeup-at-night feature quite easily.) Cheers, Udo
