I only have the one system, so there are no external front ends to keep the system from shutting down.
I found I was getting error messages every 15 minutes where it attempted to delete a non-existing file. I created a dummy file
of the same name for it to delete, and now it appears happy after deleting it.
My script is failing because it is never being called. I let the tailf run for more than half an hour, my script should be
called every 3 minutes, but it was never called.

$ mythshutdown --check
OK to shutdown

$ tailf /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
