[mythtv-users] $status paramater not returning "auto"

I believe I have solved my early wakeup problem.  nvram-wakeup has a 
setting to wake 5 minutes before the intended start time:

 From nvram-wakup.h:

//*
 * WAKEUP_BEFORE   is the number of minutes the machine needs for booting.  I.e.
 *                 we will set the wake up time  WAKEUP_BEFORE menutes before we
 *                 need the machine to be up and running.
 * NEED_TO_SHTDWN  is the number of minutes the machine needs between calling
 *                 nvram-wakeup and poweroff.
 *                 I.e. we don't accept wake up times less than 
 *                  (NEED_TO_SHTDWN + WAKEUP_BEFORE) minutes
 *                 in the future
 *
 * If NEED_TO_SHTDWN is too small, it may happen that the wake up time is passed
 * while  shutdown process,  so the machine  will wake  up one month  or (on the
 * boards, which store the month number) one year later than expected.
 * 
 * I think, it is sufficient to set NEED_TO_SHTDWN to 5 minutes but your mileage
 * may vary.
 *//

#*define* WAKEUP_BEFORE    5


I have just adjusted my wakeup time by adding 300 seconds to the $time 
value.  Now I have complete control of when the machine starts.

So these problems do not appear to be related.
