<div>If I type "sudo hibernate" at a terminal, it
works. If I use the menu within Mythwelcome and
select "Shutdown now", it works. But if I let the
idle timer count to zero, it gets as far as
stopping the backend service and then nothing
further happens - visibly, or in the Hibernate
log.<br>

<div>So, I've been trying to think about what could be
different between selecting "shutdown now" in Mythwelcome,
and letting the idle timer count down. There's one
possibly that occurs; perhaps those who know could confirm
or deny it?<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Is it possible that, despite being configured through
MythWelcome, the shutdown command when the machine is idle
actually comes from mythbackend?<br>
</div>
<div>In that case, the hibernate script would presumably be
a child process of mythbackend, so when it stops
mythbackend, it would itself be killed.<br>
</div>
<div>That makes some sense, if it's true. Is it?<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Thanks :-)<br>

Easy to test your theory. Have your backend hibernate script spawn
a background task that does the hibernation.<br>
