Thanks for this tip. It made me compare

$ mythshutdown --help

and http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythshutdown, it seems interesting that
the built in usage information is less accurate than the one in the web.
The tool won't tell me that --status and --check have hidden parameters.

Anyway it helped, the following input was made with an ongoing recording:

$ mythshutdown --check; echo $?
0
$ mythshutdown --check=1; echo $?
1
$ mythshutdown --check=255; echo $?
0
$ mythshutdown --status; echo $?
0
$ mythshutdown --status=1; echo $?
8
$ mythshutdown --status=255; echo $?
0

So it seems I just need to specify that extra flag. Yet, I'm 99.999%
sure I did not have to do that with 0.24fixes...

Thanks again!
