In gentoo vdr package we added a small hack (attached), which implements a
svdrp call "down" to tell vdr it is inactive and will shutdown in X minutes.
We call this from shutdown-scripts to let vdr retry shutdown in 5 min (or
other value if needed).
Question is: Is this still needed?
VDR already retries after an acceptable time, and VDR probably knows
better whether an user is currently active or not. The only reason I
could think of is that VDR was started without a timer nearby, and the
start script knows that this is not an user start. And sending a kPower
key press will also let VDR go inactive.
Things were different in old versions, where VDR retried shutdown after
3 hours or so, but that has changed.
