<p>1) You don't have to start the frontend in order for something to be recorded.<br>
2) Sounds like you don't have myth set up correctly to check before it shuts down. Not at home, so I can't be more specific, but there's a setup option to specify a program to run to check whether to shutdown or not. The program - shutdowncheck? - honors the lock as well a recognizing when a recording is active (and IIRC, some other things too). In my case, I wanted to expand on this, so I call my own shell script which calls that program and does other tests before returning the appropriate value to signal whether to stay up or shutdown.</p>
