Is there a way to do this from within a script like Jarod's mythpowerbutton.sh?
I am trying to make this as wife/children friendly and run into this problem. Would like to allow them to hit a button and have the box kill the frontend, stop the backend, fix the start channel, start the backend, and start the front end. I can do all except the fixing the start channel. Anyone have a one line command prompt way to do this?
