What methods can I use to check if recording is currently active, or if they are pending N minutes from now? Basically I want to do same check that enigma2 does when starting, to avoid restarting if recordings are active or pending.
How to programatically check if recording is active or almost active?

How about just looking into the source code? Just search for the (English) message, should be easy enough to find.

Hello @JasonM8,
Here you have example code which show how you should ask Enigma2 to restart:
def doRestartFailed(self, *args):self.session.open(MessageBox, _("Restart GUI failed. \nPlease restart STB manually."), type = MessageBox.TYPE_INFO, timeout=5 )from Screens.Standby import TryQuitMainloopself.session.openWithCallback(self.doRestartFailed, TryQuitMainloop, retvalue=3)
TryQuitMainloop will made such check for you.
Regards,
SSS

with webinterface
echo "ongoing timers:" $(wget -O- -q http://127.0.0.1/web/timerlist |grep "e2state" | grep -c ">2<")
ongoing timers: 0
as you see I have no active recordings

Thanks all! The webinterface solution is perfect in this case as I was trying to write a standalone shutdown script (and such a script can't access current session object, AFAIK).
x=$(wget -O- -q http://127.0.0.1/web/timerlist |grep "e2state" | grep -c ">2<")
if [ "$x" == "0" ]; then
echo "No timers running, restarting"
shutdown -r 0
else
echo "Can't restart, there are active timers:" $x
