The only purpose of the shutdown script is to shut down the computer and kill VDR, or do nothing. There was never any return code defined that indicates shutdown-readiness, nor was the return code ever checked. Your strategy would therefore be a completely new shutdown script that is more like a check-for-activity script, and that would still require another script that actually does the shutdown after all. Such a functionality could also be implemented by a simple plugin that reports plugin activity based on return codes from an external script. > I for example am trying and trying to get rid of the onscreen message > "Taste drücken, um Ausschalten abzubrechen" automatically btw, since VDR 1.5.1 (or 1.4.x with the shutdown rewrite patch), this message got replaced by a fancier "VDR will shut down in x:xx minutes" message, that counts down in 10-second steps, and that does no longer block most of VDR for 5 minutes.
