Yes and no :-) My vdrwatchdog just take care that vdr is up and respond, if it's not, then it kill it and reload the driver and restart it. Now I have found out that in in gentoo initscript I forgot to tell the vdrwatchdog initscript to be run AFTER vdr, which was of course stupid from me... since I don't have any FF cards anymore in my system, the reload of the driver at boot don't seems needed anymore anyway. > The next scheduled wakeup time is always MinEventTimeout in the future, > to prevent wakeup race conditions and immediate restarts on forced > shutdown.

Yes, I have added a test for an enough uptime in my vdr's "checkscrip" which is the easy way to be sure my computer don't power down too early.
