Period. An appropriate signal, probably SIGTERM, should also do this. > The ONLY exception to this would be if vdr is currently recording > something, in which case a warning comes up and asks you to confirm the > shutdown. Agreed. SIGHUP. Then there's the upgrade restart, which should be available via a signal. The actual restart should be deferred if VDR is currently busy. (It is *possible* to implement this via runvdr, but it's a lot easier to handle if VDR can re-exec itself.) [snip] -- | Darren Salt | linux or ds at | nr.
