Ah yes, I've seen this problem. If you are using mythwelcome and scripts
to automatically shutdown the system if idle for X minutes, but for some
reason the frontend starts up before the backend, then I think the
backend doesn't "notice" that the frontend is connected, and so the
machine will shutdown after the defined X number of minutes. I guess
this should be reported as a bug really.
In my case, I have set things up so that the frontend does not start
automatically (mythwelcome starts automatically, but not the frontend),
and I have trained myself not to be too eager to start the frontend when
the machine boots. Alternatively, you could put a "sleep 10" line or
similar in your .profile or similar to delay starting mythwelcome, if
you are worried.
Cheers,
John
