[mythtv-users] How wakeup detects manual/auto poweron

[Matt Doran]

Hi there,

The way this works is that when the myth shutdown code sets a wakeup 
time value in the database (can't remember which config setting).

Then when it starts up, if the current time is within 15 minutes of the 
value in the DB it treats it as a "auto" startup.

Thanks,
Matt
