[mythtv-users] sleep/wake with Jarod's guide

[Jesper Rasmussen]

Im trying to make my mythbox to power "hard" off. It is an atx, and is 
able to do so, but in linux it just kill's off all processes and turns 
hd's off, but it does not turn the pc off compleately ... is there a way 
to force it to do so?
