Hey, I wrote that on 2007-02-08 (ISO date) or 8.2.2007 (German or Finnish style date).

SIGHUP. Brilliant idea. This would also simplify the ACPI powerbutton event script, whose name escapes me right now. I modified the script on my system to send "HITK Power" via SVDRP, but it would be much cleaner and probably somewhat faster to send a signal. Darren, if your packages end up in the official Debian, I hope you will also provide a nice hook for the ACPI powerbutton event. (If vdr is running, signal it. Otherwise, shut down the system normally.) Marko
