[mythtv-users] getting power button to work on Radio Shack 15-2116 remote

I got this remote for christmas and have followed Jarod's guide to
have it replace my grey pvr350 remote.  I managed to get most of it
working.  I can control my tivo and used the vcr button with the 0081
code to transmit to my pvr350 receiver.  Lately, every once in a while
mythfrontend crashes and my wife complains so i figured I would try
and set up that power button in Jarods guide that kills the frontend
and then restarts it.  I followed the instructions and made the script
executable with [root at localhost bin]# chmod +x
/usr/local/bin/mythpowerbutton.sh and then logged out and logged back
in and then pressed the POWER button in the vcr mode and it didn't do
anything.

Using irw shows the following for the POWER button:
[mythtv at localhost bin]$ irw
000000000000114c 00 POWER rs15-2116-vcr0081
000000000000114c 01 POWER rs15-2116-vcr0081
000000000000114c 02 POWER rs15-2116-vcr0081
000000000000114c 03 POWER rs15-2116-vcr0081

Anyone have insight into how I can resolved this or what I might be
doing wrong??

thanks,
Evan
