[mythtv-users] Slightly OT: can't get power button script to restart front end (From Jarod's guide)

[Jon Kunze]

I have this

begin
prog = irexec
button = OFF
repeat = 4
config = /usr/local/bin/mythpowerbutton.sh
end

Assigned to my power button, just the same as Jarod's guide, and yet when I
press the button, it doesn't shutdown mythfrontend, nor does it restart it
if it has crashed. Hence my tring to execute it manually.
