I guessed thata) the shutdown abort by keypress message is displayedb) the shutdown-hooks are calledc) after b) finishes with exit 0 the timeout from a) is waited for and only than a shutdown happens And even this order is somehow strange, as it displays an annoying message that might not even be needed. But atm it seems like the order is:a) the shutdown abort by keypress message is displayedb) the timeout of 5! minutes is waited forc) after that timeout passes the shutdown-hooks are checked I just changed my S90.custom shutdownhook to just "exit 1" and set the idletimeout to 1 minute und my log shows:Jul 16 17:05:45 video vdr: [4146] confirm: Taste drücken, um Ausschalten abzubrechenJul 16 17:05:45 video vdr: [4146] warning: Taste drücken, um Ausschalten abzubrechen...Jul 16 17:10:46 video vdr: [4146] confirmedJul 16 17:10:46 video vdr-shutdown: executing /usr/share/vdr/shutdown-hooks/S50.noad as shell scriptJul 16 17:10:46 video vdr-shutdown: executing /usr/share/vdr/shutdown-hooks/S50.vdrconvert as shell scriptJul 16 17:10:47 video vdr-shutdown: executing /usr/share/vdr/shutdown-hooks/S90.custom as shell scriptJul 16 17:10:47 video vdr-shutdown: Shutdown aborted by /usr/share/vdr/shutdown-hooks/S90.custom with exitcode 1Jul 16 17:10:50 video vdr: [4146] connect from 127.0.0.1, port 45439 - acceptedJul 16 17:10:50 video vdr: [4146] SVDRP message: 'Shutdown abgebrochen / Shutdown aborted!'Jul 16 17:10:50 video vdr: [4146] info: Shutdown abgebrochen / Shutdown aborted!Jul 16 17:10:50 video vdr: [4146] closing SVDRP connection Which leads to the question:Why is this done in this order and not like this: a) check the shutdown-hooks and if those exit with exitcode=0 do b) else abort the shutdown sequence without a message (exception: the script wants to be verbose and does it itself)b) display shutdown abort messagec) wait for the timeout and shutdown if it happens Regards,Norbert _______________________________________________vdr mailing listvdr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
