In my situation I haven't used Jarod's power
button script yet, or even created it.
I'm just using myth-load.sh in section 14 of the
guide.

Jarod's "power button" script looks like
this:
#!/bin/bash
PROG=mythfrontend
STATUS=`ps -e | grep $PROG |
grep -v grep | wc -l | awk '{print $1}'`
if [ $STATUS -eq 0
]
then
( $PROG &
)
else
killall $PROG
fi
exit
0
Interestingly, I discovered that I could cause 2 instances of
mythfrontend, even though it checks for a running instance before it starts
another one. I could do a ps -ef | grep frontend and see nothing
running, then hit the power button on my remote, and then see 2 instance
running.
Does this make sense given that the script is checking
for a runnning instance?

I tried this method first as I thought this
was a nicer way to deal with it.
It worked, but backwards.
It
appears that as the vncservice starts the first mythfrontend.
Then when
the desired mythfrontend should get started it can't because the
script
sees it as already running.
It is nice to see I'm not alone on this
though.
I prefer to keep the vnc service on.
I'll look into the other
solution about the windows manager. I'll have to
do more
reading about that and educate
myself.
