[mythtv-users] Anyone know what could cause "SetWakeuptimeCommand failed" to start happening causing automatic shutdown to no longer work?

Thanks for replying I have investigated further and either the new
check in mythtv fixes is causing a problem and I need to fix some
configuration issue or there has been an update in Mythbuntu that is
causing the problem.  I have a script that sets up all the
Wakeup/Shutdown options and I have even rerun that in case something
has changed but I am still having the same problem.

The actual script that sorts out the setting of the time seems to be fine.

The command it is not liking is (SetWakeuptimeCommand failed):

sudo mythshutdown --setscheduledwakeup

echo $? returns a 1 after that command is executed.

Does this mean mythshutdown --setscheduledwakeup should actually be
returning a 0 if it is successful as currently it seems to be
returning 1 for success - no error is reported?

Does anyone know of a fix/workaround for this?

TIA
