Hi<br><br>IŽd like to wakeup my Mythbackend with the ACPI solution.<br>I followed the ACPI Wakeup at the Myth Wiki, but without success.<br>My wakeup Command is "SetWakeuptimeCommand /usr/bin/mythsettime $time"<br>
The mythsettime script is the following:<br>sudo echo $1 > /var/lib/mythtv/myth.time<br>sudo echo $1 > /proc/acpi/alarm</blockquote><div><br>I don't think sudo echo's work with redirection. I think you have to set your SetWakeuptimeCommand to sudo /usr/bin/mythsettime $time in order for it to work, but I could be wrong. You might also have to put \' or \" around $time (
i.e \'$time\') as at least in my case, the $time variable consists of two words, so $1 will only get the first one. Alternatively, you could use 'echo $@' in mythsettime which will print all of the arguments passed to mythsettime. Also, myth does log shutdown warnings every ten seconds for a minute before a shutdown in /var/log/mythtv/.

<br>because the $time variable is not know outside the mythbackend programm.</blockquote><div><br></div></div>something like:<br><br>sudo /usr/bin/mythsettime '2006-12-18 15:05:00' <br><br>would test your script for 3:05 today, however this seems obvious, did you mean something else?
