John, you speak of what is happening to me, As it is setup right now i don't have a keyboard connected to the computer so i was looking for a way to either restart mythbackend through the myth interface (as menu option) or restart the whole system which i have been doing through a ssh session from another room which was kind of a hassle. The swatch seems to be what would be perfect for me, any ideas where i could learn more about it?
