Yes, i would prefer i we would change commands-loader.sh, and keep the
links, because /var/cache/vdr seems to be the better location for
these 2 files. (and the the epg.data-file would not be so alone) ;-)

Yes, and it should communicated to the users that they normally should
only need to change files under /etc/vdr by hand.

I removed the echo, because it leads to an output like this:

root@warp:/home/chelli$ /etc/init.d/vdr restart
Restarting Linux Video Disk Recorder: vdr
Searching for plugins: prefermenu dvd games vcd
=2E

And the third line does not contain any useful information, so when
removing the echo it looks like this:

root@warp:/home/chelli$ /etc/init.d/vdr restart
Restarting Linux Video Disk Recorder: vdr
Searching for plugins: prefermenu dvd games vcd.

This looks more like the normal (one-line) output of init-scripts=20
looks like, see also [1].
