In mythtv-setup, there are options related to this.  You can specify
options such as wake-up time x min before the next scheduled recording
and how often to perform a shutdown check.  If the shutdown check
passes, the backend can pass the next wakeup time to your own script
to set your RTC clock.

I have my scripts setup so if I am actively using the computer for
non-myth purposes, the shutdown will be cancelled.  In this way, I
never actually shutdown my backend...Myth does it automatically when
it is not recording and my script returns I am not otherwise using it.
