The problem is when my machine boots and its not going to record anything, I want to start the frontend. MythTV has a script that runs at boot and is suppose to tell you if the user booted or if nvram-wakeup did. I would like to start the frontend from this script but it is running as root and does have access to X Windows. Paul
