I have this working on my EPIA M, in that the apcid daemon captures the
power off button event.  But what do I do with it?

I have found that just killing the frontend sometimes hoses the backend so
I don't want to just issue a poweroff command.  Is there a clean way to
tell mythfrontend to bail, like sending it a signal or something?

Thanks,
