I am following, all the way. I removed from the README ; pasted your<div class="im"><br>
command into the terminal, used ctrl+x to which it asked if I wanted to<br>
save ; to which I typed Y ; and now I have this screen:<br>

When that editor presents you with a file, it automatically appends<br>
the ".tmp" portion. Just remove it - probably backspacing. If you're<br>
uncomfortable, just try editing a file such as /tmp/justTesting, save<br>
it and edit it again. When you're comfortable, apply your new knowledge<br>
to /etc/sudoers.d/mythtv.<div class="im"><br>

I have done little tests; setting a recording in the near future, then<br>
logging out or shutting down, and upon these failures I have deemed it not<br>
working. Am I not giving it enough time to react? Which should I use<br>
shutting down or logging out? Which command?<br>

Remember that there is an option to prevent idle shutdown if a recording is<br>
coming up. I don't know what value you chose.<br>
<br>
Make sure your "setting a recording in the near future" is greater than that<br>
value. I use 10 minutes, but it's completely up to you.<br>
<br>
Logging out, may work. Shutting down will absolutely *not* work. In order<br>
for scheduled wakeup to work, you must let the backend set the clock and<br>
shutdown your host.<br>
<br>
And, don't forget, you can look in your backend's log file for clues. As<br>
well as using the mythshutdown -c command discussed earlier.<br>
<br>
You're getting very close to a working solution.<div class=""><div class="h5"><br>
