Mark,
I believe all of the myth-specific information (typed into the myth
interface) is indeed stored on your backend server only. If the
backend were to go down, the frontend would lose connection and could
not retrieve that configuration. However, I assume (and this may be
wrong) that the myth frontend retrieves all of it's important
configuration data on startup. As long as this is actually the case, it
would still know when and how to execute that shutdown statement even if
the backend dies. If you were to bring up the frontend without the
backend online, it couldn't retrieve its configuration information to
begin with. (Someone pelase correct me if I've got this situation
wrong, thanks.)
Just for clarification, the configuration of Myth frontends is in
one of the tables in the mythconverg database (not the mysql database,
that holds mysql specific stuff) that is accessed through the mysql
server.

Todd,
The database mysql would be on the backend machine, correct?
Are you telling me that when a backend goes down the frontend-only
machine loses access to the one command it needs to shut itself off
safely? If so that would be quite disappointing.
Thanks,
Mark

Subject: [mythtv-users] mythfrontend configuration - where is it stored?
Hi,
I haven't found documentation on this item. Where is configuration
info for a specific mythfrontend-only box stored? For instance, there
is an option where I can enter a command string to execute when
shutting down. After I enter that string, where is it stored?
Thanks,
Mark
