You _do_ need a separate app to write to the CMOS (nvram-wakeup for example). However, nvram-wakeup does not know what time to set the WakeUp time to. It gets that as one of the command line argument.
Here is the sequence of evens (devs, if I am wrong correct me): 1. mythbackend starts in 'user' mode (after a manual start) 2. mythfrontend connects to the backend 3. mythfrontend disconnects from the backend 4. if no recordings are currently going and no recordings are schedule within a predefined period, the backend decides it is idle and starts the idle countdown 5. when the idle countdown is done, the backend calls nvram-wakeup (or whatever program the user specified) and then shutsdown If either 2 or 3 do not happen, the backend will _never_ decide it is idle and it will never shut down automatically. > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > >Myth's built-in auto shutdown/wakeup does exactly that but there are some > situations where it is not invoked and I would like to have a way to shut the > machine down. > > > > > really?
