Comment (by pbennett):

 I installed your patch on latest master to test it. It does not seem to
 work.

 - Set a wakeup command for master backend in mythtv-setup. Also set up an
 idle shutdown time.
 - Start the backend and a frontend that is on a separate machine.
 - Use the menu on the frontend "Enter Standby Mode". It shows Backend will
 shutdown in x seconds.
 - Shut down the backend and sleep the backend machine.
 - There are messages in the frontend log "Connecting to backend server:
 ... (try 1 of 5)" etc.
 - The backend is woken up. (Should not be woken!).

 I have not tried to debug it.

 If this was to work I would also try it with a database WOL setting as
 well to make sure the database WOL does not wake the backend (backend and
 database are the same machine).
