"Enable Network Remote Control interface" in
Setup - General, then create another script.

eg. /usr/local/bin/mainmenu

  #!/usr/bin/expect -f
  spawn $env(SHELL)
  send -- "telnet localhost 6546\r"
  expect "#"
  send -- "jump mainmenu\r"
  expect "#"
  send -- "exit\r"
  expect eof

> This is my 'power_toggle.sh' shell script:
> #!/bin/sh
>
> TV=panasonic_tv_01
> AMP=amplifier
>
> if [ -e ~/.power ]
> then
> #power down
> /usr/bin/irsend -d /dev/lircd1 SEND_ONCE $TV power
> sleep 1
> /usr/bin/irsend -d /dev/lircd1 SEND_ONCE $AMP power
> rm -f ~/.power
> #<<<<<< send keypress to mythtv to jump to main_menu ????
