+# runvdr: Loads the DVB driver and runs VDR
+#
+# If VDR exits abnormally, the driver will be reloaded
+# and VDR restarted.
+#
+# In order to actually use this script you need to implement
+# the functions DriverLoaded(), LoadDriver() and UnloadDriver()
+# and maybe adjust the VDRPRG and VDRCMD to your particular
+# requirements.
+#
+# Since this script loads the DVB driver, it must be started
+# as user 'root'. Add the option "-u username" to run VDR
+# under the given user name.
+#
+# Any command line parameters will be passed on to the
+# actual 'vdr' program.
+#
+# See the main source file 'vdr.c' for copyright information and
+# how to reach the author.
