[mythtv-users] Re: Improving WAF -- Poweroff Through The Remote

[Eric Thelin]

I would love to see more info on how to configure the power button to
shut down properly.  I know of embedded distros like minimyth that can
do it but not for full distros.  Where can I find tools that will let me
work with the power button?
