[mythtv] How do you run mythfrontend automatically after WindowMaker starts ?

[Chris]

For anyone interested. How to bind lirc button to shutdown -h now
$visudo
under #Cmnd Alias specifation
Cmnd_Alias SHUT=/sbin/shutdown -h now
under root All=(ALL) ALL
username ALL= NOPASSWD: SHUT
save and quit

in $HOME/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/autostart
/usr/local/bin/irexec &

In your .lircrc
begin
  prog=irexec
  button = (you choose)
  repeat =0
  config = sudo shutdown -h now
end

Works for me.
