NAME

       runvdr - starts VDR and reloads the DVB modules in case of errors

DESCRIPTION

       runvdr  is called by the init-script of vdr. It acts as a watchdog for vdr and will reload
       the dvb-modules and vdr, if vdr exits with an exitcode different from 0.

       runvdr  will  call  /usr/bin/vdr  and  will  pass  all  commandline-options  directly   to
       /usr/bin/vdr.

       runvdr  needs  to  be  called  by  root  in  order to work correct, because it will try to
       unload/load kernel-modules!
