Hi

I am new to using mythtv, and is currently running it on my desktop PC while
waiting for the parts for building a HTPC.

I have managed to set mythtv up so shut down automaticaly when not busy, and
set the bios time to restart the the computer in time for the next 
recording, all
very well. I used the method described on this page:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ACPI_Wakeup

I would however like to take this one step further, as I would like to 
make sure,
that if shutdown is executed, I would like to have a script, that will 
check if
mythbackend is busy and not shut down if that is the case, or if mythbackend
is not busy, set the wakeup time, if a later recording is scheduled.

So my question is:

1: Does mythtv have a command, that will tell if the backend is busy?
2: Does mythtv have a command, that will return the time of the next 
recording? (or 0 if none).

Thanks Per
