<div dir="ltr">Here is the script I use, Was made for Minimyth but you can modify the sleep command and it will prob work for most any system. <br><br><a href="http://minimyth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1470">http://minimyth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1470</a><br>
<br>The only thing I really added was this bit of code(to checkbuttonpress) to use osd_cat to display a message on the screen. I used osd_cat since mythnotify only works in livetv and videos. <br><br>echo `date` 'check last button push:' $DIFF ' seconds'>>/home/minimyth/messages<br>
if [ $DIFF -gt 5000 ] # at 5000 seconds let user know getting ready for sleep mode<br>then<br>echo "!! Getting ready to go in to sleep mode press any button to abort !!"| osd_cat -d 10<br>fi<br><div class="gmail_quote">

I'm looking for pointers for the following.<br>
<br>
I remember reading that someone had done this with a usb-uirt, lirc and cron.<br>
<br>
Here is exactly what I'd like to do.<br>
<br>
Run a cron job every 2 hours that checks to see if A) There has been<br>
any remote signals sent and B) Check if Myth is playing a video or is<br>
just idle.<br>
<br>
If both conditions are met, I'd like to display a notice that lasts<br>
for 10-20 seconds (which a keypress will cancel) or send a power off<br>
command to the Television.<br>
