About
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
runvdr extreme is a runvdr script, just like the runvdr script included in
the VDR distribution. Its just roughly 17 times bigger.
Some of the features of runvdr extreme:
- Loads default configuration from runvdr.conf
- All configuration accessible and overrideable from command line
- All VDR options handled
- Handles runvdr.pid file, acts on signals
- Restarts VDR in case of errors
- Commands to restart VDR and reload DVB
- Configuration file re-read on VDR restart
- Avoids endless loops if VDR crashes instantly
- Resets terminal to defaults after VDR terminated
- Add wrapper commands to VDR for debugging
- Waiting for the VDR process to be killed completey,
hard killing after timeout
- Command line help
- Can switch console terminal
- Can set locale for VDR daemon
- Optionally supports pluginsetup-plugin
Quick-start
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Copy runvdr to /usr/local/bin/ or whereever you like
- Copy runvdr.conf.example to /etc/runvdr.conf
- Edit /etc/runvdr.conf to match your needs
The runvdr.conf is pretty much self-explaining. All options are also available
on command line, just take a look at runvdr --help.
Dependencies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unix commands, that runvdr uses:
Command Debian packet
pgrep procps
ps procps
kill procps
sleep coreutils
date coreutils
chvt console-tools
getopt util-linux
setterm util-linux
Examples
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assuming you've set up your defaults in /etc/runvdr.conf, here are some
cool things you can do now:
Start VDR in background (for example with TERMINAL=/dev/tty8 in conf file):
runvdr &
Stop VDR and the runvdr script:
runvdr --terminate
Dito, but wait until VDR is killed:
runvdr --terminate --wait
Restart the already running VDR process because it is hanging, or because
the runvdr.conf has changed:
runvdr --restart
Dito, but also reload the DVB drivers:
runvdr --dvb-restart
Use the new fresh compiled VDR for the first time:
runvdr --vdr=/usr/src/vdr-1.4.3/vdr --lib=/usr/src/vdr-1.4.3/PLUGINS/lib
For debugging, start VDR with no terminal redirection:
runvdr --terminal="" --switchterminal=""
Load all plugins and also the hello plugin:
runvdr -P hello
Load only the hello plugin:
runvdr -P- -P hello
Do a dry-run of runvdr:
runvdr --wrapper=echo
Do a debugging session:
runvdr --wrapper="gdb --args"
Start with a completely different setup:
runvdr --runvdr-conf="/etc/runvdr-debugging.conf"
