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!
