Could the schedule change events

Yes I am using EIT for my sources. That's
just what I got working when I first
installed mythtv. I'm in London, UK. Is
there a xmltv source I could use that
might be better?<br>
<br>
So the schedule change event might be an
update from EIT that's stalling the
shutdown?<br>

I'm having a go now. I'll let you know if it fixes

OK I've tried the xmltv option. I didn't delete the
EIT source yet, perhaps I should. Now it still
doesn't shut down properly but mythwelcome.log has
different entries...<br>

OK deleting the EIT source didn't help but I think I
worked out my problem...<br>

I found this in my mythbackend.log (should have looked in
there earlier):<br>

Has something changed so that mythshutdown now uses sudo
to shut down mythtv? I don't really want to have to enter
a password to shut the box down.<br>

What do you have in your /etc/sudoers file<br>
<br>
sounds like you might need to setup sudo to allow it to run
mythshutdown <br>
<br>
%mythtv ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown, /bin/sh,
/usr/bin/setwakeup.sh, /usr/bin/mythshutdown<br>
<br>
replace mythtv with user you use to run mythshutdown<br>
<br>
There is a guide on the wiki to setup mythwelcome and
mythshutdown, Ive had to follow it again after an ugprade in the
past. It might be worth going through it again.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps </blockquote>
It certainly does help. I just figured this out on my own and came
back to post it.<br>
</blockquote>
I'll just add that perhaps allowing sudo access to /bin/sh might be
a security risk. I found the following worked for me on mythbuntu:<br>
<br>
Cmnd_Alias SHUTDOWN = /usr/bin/mythshutdown, /bin/sh -c
/usr/bin/setwakeup.sh [0-9]*, /sbin/shutdown<br>
mythtv htpc = NOPASSWD: SHUTDOWN<br>
john htpc = NOPASSWD: SHUTDOWN<br>
<br>
Note the more specific "/bin/sh -c /usr/bin/setwakeup.sh [0-9]*". I
just added the above as the file /etc/sudoers.d/mythshutdown<br>
<br>
I'm on Mythbuntu natty. I found out what to add by inspecting
/var/log/auth.log to see what was going wrong.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
John.
