If anyone is interested in how to do this on Ubuntu, it's 3 scripts (two
upstart scripts and one cron job), the longest of which is 20 or so
lines including comments. If people want to know how to do this, please
contact me off line or point me at a wiki page I can update.

Note I'm on 23.1 at the moment that doesn't appear to have the
mythtv-status command but it works fine with mythtvshutdown -c.
