Your subjects states you're using Mythwelcome with ACPI (as opposed to
nvram-wakeup), but I don't see that anywhere in your instructions here.
Are you saying you're planning on documenting your experience more fully
somewhere else or is this email your documentation of your process?

I'm trying to get the same thing working, but Myth won't shut down even
when it reports that it's been idle for the requisite time (and no
recordings are scheduled and no frontends are running).

Thanks,
