Right now I start up KDE, and then start myth frontend by pressing the Power button on my remote, which lircd catches and then uses to start Myth. I'm using the method described in the Tips 'n' Tricks section of Jarod's guide.
What I'd like is for the frontend to start, without me having to press any buttons on the remote, iff I started the Myth box manually. I know it seems a bit lazy, but it makes sense to me that if I started the box manually, the frontend should start.
My nieces & nephews came over the house this past weekend & power cylced my box multiple times (I was debating whether to remove the power header from the motherboard that connects to my antec overture, but never got around to it). They kept pressing all the buttons. Thankfully, I had invested the time to get the autorestart working 100%.
I use KDE & implemented the /home/mythtv/.kde/Autostart/ ideology effectively to automatically start mtd, mythbackend & mythfrontend at system boot. Read on... I have a link to my myth docs/errata below too. I tried to use the system V startup scripts & the BSD startup script /etc/rc.local in vain. I run mythfrontend & mythbackend as user mythtv.
I also improved on Jarod's guide's tips & tricks "Wife Button."

POWER: stop/start in one fell swoop mythfrontend & mythbackend using remote control that is linked to a user executable script. (works so nicely when the GO button doesn't always work.)
GO: stop & separately start mythfrontend using remote control that is linked to a user executable script

Like I said before, something that I'd be planning on doing for a bit
and was planning on doing this weekend, I had a rather quiet night at work so inspired by the demand I had a bit of a scripting session. :-)
A little bit of sql and ksh[1] later and I have a beta that works and is undergoing testing now...
Need to do a little bit more work to make it easier and to schedule restarts
for cron jobs and it'll be perfect.
Got to do some phoning round for my bike insurance now (*mutter*grumble*money*grabbing*lazy*bunch*of*gits*ahem) but should have something later today (well today for me anyway ;-) )
