[mythtv] "mythshutdown -t" always giving time in invalid format

[Ma Begaj]

Thanks for the answer. I changed the value in mythtv-setup and now
mythshutdown -t is giving back the right value.

I did not know that there are two different settings and I thought
that the value in mythwelcome --setup is actually the value for
mythshutdown.

I am not using nvram. I am writing the time in /proc/acpi/alarm, but I
cannot allow mythbackend/frontend to shutdown automatically because I
am using the same computer for backend, frontend and my desktop
computer for work.

That's why I cannot let mythtv shutdown computer, because it is not
able to recognize that I am working on the other X server (it is a
multiseat system).

I built a script which checks if the screensaver is activated  and for
how long, and if "mythshutdown -s 1" allows me to shutdown computer, I
take the value from "mythshutdown -t" and write it in /proc/acpi/alarm
and after that the computer will be suspended to ram. I never shut it
down, because suspending is much faster.

Thanks one more time.

M.
