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
