For the automatic frontend starting to work you need to be using
mythshutdown (which is really the helper app for mythwelcome). In the
ACPI wakeup wiki (Mythwelcome users in section 5.2) there's the
following description of what happens if everything is set-up as
detailed in the Wiki :-

The backend 'Pre Shutdown check-command' will be called - if it returns 0 then

The backend 'Command to set Wakeup Time' (mythshutdown --setwakeup
$time) will be called. This writes the time into the database which
mythwelcome will then use to detect if the next start-up is manual or
for a scheduled recording / daily wakeup period.

The backend 'Server halt command' (mythshutdown --shutdown) will be
called. This runs the mythwelcome 'Command to set wakeup time' (sudo
sh -c "/usr/bin/setwakeup.sh $time"). The $time variable here will
either be the time of the next scheduled recording or the time of the
next defined wakeup period. The mythwelcome 'Command to shutdown' will
then be called (sudo shutdown -h now) to shutdown the system.
