[mythtv-users] Auto Shutdown and Startup

[DCL]

For some reason Mythtv does not return a value of "auto" for the 
parameter $status when my machine is automatically waken.  It still 
returns a value of "user", so this solution wont work.

Am I not understanding how the $status parameter is being set, or is it 
not working properly?

Any other understandable ideas?

Thanks Dan
