That suggests that the script is returning 0. So <assuming> that it's the
script in the ACPI Wakeup Wiki then one of these isn't detecting what
you'd expect:

     cat /proc/uptime | awk '{print int($1/60)}'
     pgrep xfce
     who -q | tail -n 1 | sed 's/[a-z #]*=//'

The  commands in my original response would show the return code from
the script. But you could just run it from the command line and then
type: echo $? to see the return code.

To prevent the backend from shutting down while you're testing, just
use:

     mythshutdown --lock
