Yes, PoP and something that I was planning to do this weekend.

Basicly I am planning to  change the shutdown command to run a script
which would set a value (probably write it to the mythconverg database
but it could be as simple as putting the wakeup time in a file) then
shutdown.
The script that starts the frontend then would look at this value and
if the current time was within a specified amount of that time then don't
start the frontend, if it's way out then start the frontend.

I'll post the scripts when I've finished if anyone's interested.

HTH
