Releasing the TV before shutting down ?

Most people on this list would interpret 'SSH?' as

since the pi likely has a ssh-deamon running, from another commputer ssh to the pi

so get the ip of the pi, and connect another pc to the same network and type

ssh pi@the-ip-of-the-pi

provide the password at the prompt.

Now you have ssh()ed to the pi. You have a terminal session in the pi.

now execute the commands and be done with it

Björn,

So would I.

But in my particular case that would be a problem.

And I'm not talking about that I would need to keep a 'puter at ready just to be able to check that the RPi shut down correctly.

Though the problem I referred to would make moot of that.

Than again, if someone would have realized (or just asked for!) the problem I referred to (s)he might have been able to suggest another way to talk to the RPi. Which would un-moot the "keep a 'puter at ready" issue. :-)

Remark:

Although I would like to see someone figuring out/realizing what my "but at the same time creating the next" problem is (hint, the cause has been quoted here), I hope that everyone here realizes that this whole "disable HDMI output" subthread is moot, as, as already mentioned, it doesn't do anything for me in regard to my initial question, having the TV switch away from the RPi when the latter is shut down.
