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!
