The shutdown script has always been a fire-and-forget script that did not evaluate any return codes or output. The only change that landed together with the VDR shutdown rewrite in 1.5.1 is that the script is now called detached from VDR, so it can run in parallel and will not terminate together with VDR. Some shutdown scripts may need to be adapted. If you want to investigate: thread.c:SystemExec() is called with the new parameter Detached=true. STDIN is redirected to /dev/null, STDOUT and STDERR are same as VDR, all other FD's get closed as before.
