<p>You're missing somethings. ;-)</p>
<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>

<br></div>Uhh.. not sure what part of my original post gave you the incorrect impression that I didn't already know that, especially as I describe how when I'm done with the frontend I explicitly exit the frontend back to mythwelcome.<br>
<br>The problem is that mythwelcome is starting the frontend even when mythtv wakes itself up via ACPI to record a show, This shouldn't happen according to the mythtv wiki:<br><br><pre>Automatically Start
Mythfrontend<br> <br>- Normally when mythwelcome starts up it checks to see<br> whether the system was started to record something or<br> because of a wakeup/shutdown period. If not it will<br> automatically start the frontend.<br>
You can disable this feature by unchecking this option. <br></pre><br></div></blockquote></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote><div>Are you calling mythshutdown --setwakeup $time as part of the shutdown process? And is $time in the correct format (it needs to be yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss for mythshutdown --setwakeup)?<br>
