BTW, I'm very used to VDR's current behaviour to shutdown itself after the recording is made and don't want to get rid of that one either.
As far as I understand, nobody has suggested that we should get rid of that feature. You could compare this to an analog VCR. I would believe that they refuse to power off when there is a timed recording going on.
Yes, exactly.
In my opinion, the behavior should be that the power button engages an immediate shutdown. Period.
An appropriate signal, probably SIGTERM, should also do this.
The ONLY exception to this would be if vdr is currently recording something, in which case a warning comes up and asks you to confirm the shutdown.
Agreed. SIGHUP.
Then there's the upgrade restart, which should be available via a signal. The actual restart should be deferred if VDR is currently busy. (It is *possible* to implement this via runvdr, but it's a lot easier to handle if VDR can re-exec itself.)
