Nowadays it's possible for example to bind/unbind drivers to/from specific devices. Ie if you have multiple dvb-ttpci cards it should be possible to reset a specific one. Maybe it would even be possible to implement some kind of reset ioctl in the kernel drivers so vdr doesn't need to rely on external scripts at all. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
