Hi,

1st, I'd run: mythshutdown --check to see if there's anything running that
would prevent shutdown. If that doesn't give you any hints, then with the
backend running (and nothing else, like frontends/recording/transcoding...)
type:

     mythbackend --setverbose idle,system
     mythbackend --setloglevel debug
     tailf /whereverYourBackendLogIs

Expect to see idle countdown messages and then the system command that
runs your script.

Set the verbose level to general and the log level to info when you're
all done.
