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

[Simon Lundell]

I've tried the nvram-wakeup-thing but my mythbox don't want to shut
down. The mythuser can shutdown and wakeup from the command line, but
mythtv-shutdown does not work. Any hints?

At least on my machine, poweroff shuts down services properly.  Only
difference I've ever seen, is I once had an old machine that wouldn't
actually "power off" using '/sbin/shutdown -h now'.  Or maybe my problem
was not using '-h'?  I dunno... since then I just use 'poweroff' and it
works like a charm.
