Thanks, this seems to work: the display is powered off after the "press any button to cancel shutdown" timeout. However, after a failed shutdown attempt (renaming the shutdown script so that it won't be found), vdr does something to the file descriptor that my plugin opens, and the relay control will fail. This might have something to do with the fact that it is file descriptor 0. There is no stdin, because my runvdr script closes it: exec <&- >> /tmp/vdr.log 2>&1 The problem seems to lie in shutdown.c, in SystemExecSession(). It won't close file descriptor 0, but it will close anything above STDERR_FILENO (which is normally 2). This function appears to show up in strace output as "clone()". Adding close(0) to the function fixes the problem. Do you see any reason why the shutdown script would need to access stdin? (I can see reasons why it would want to access stdout or stderr.) I made a simple patch to softdevice (attached) that seems to work. A similar patch would be needed for the subtitles plugin, to prevent subtitles from appearing on the suspended video screen.
