I don't think sudo echo's work with redirection. I think you have to set
your SetWakeuptimeCommand to sudo /usr/bin/mythsettime $time in order for it
to work, but I could be wrong. You might also have to put \' or \" around
$time (i.e \'$time\') as at least in my case, the $time variable consists of
two words, so $1 will only get the first one. Alternatively, you could use
'echo $@' in mythsettime which will print all of the arguments passed to
mythsettime. Also, myth does log shutdown warnings every ten seconds for a
minute before a shutdown in /var/log/mythtv/.
which should write the wakeup time into the acpi alarm .

something like:
sudo /usr/bin/mythsettime '2006-12-18 15:05:00'
would test your script for 3:05 today, however this seems obvious, did you
mean something else?
