[mythtv-users] ACPI shutdown not shutting down

Hi,

I have a combined front/backend which is working reasonably well. I have tried 
to get ACPI shutdown working using the howto at wiki.ubuntu.com.

It all works really well if I run mythbackend from the command line, but if I 
run it as a daemon i.e. when it restarts it never manages to actually 
shutdown. 

It is clearly a problem with permissions as the I get the following output:

¨2007-07-06 06:50:08.122 I'm idle now... shutdown will occur in 5 seconds.
Password:
Password:¨

I followed the instructions regarding permissions, etc.

Any ideas about another way around?

thanks,

Michael
