You can issue CHAN without a channel number to obtain the current channel. An example could be something like: ========== #!/bin/bash eepg_chan=<whatever> prev_chan=$(svdrpsend.pl chan |sed -n 2p |awk '{print $2}') svdrpsend.pl CHAN $eepg_chan svdrpsend.pl SCAN sleep 10m svdrpsend.pl CHAN $prev_chan ========== > Could I disable automatic EPG grabbing and manually tell it to grab > EPG in my script? Â(using SVDRP?) The SCAN svdrp command forces a scan, but I don't know how disabling EPG grabbing in VDR setup would affect that. I would expect the behavior of a _forced_ scan to scan regardless of any settings since the point is to force it. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
