If I'm not mistaken, I can keep the system from shutting down by leaving
the FE up. To further clarify, Bill, are you suggesting I use the earlier
"setwakeup.sh" from the wiki and add the three lines so it would look like
the following? Instead of the one more suited to Mythwelcome?

 #!/bin/sh
#$1 is the first argument to the script. It is the time in seconds since
1970
#this is defined in mythtv-setup with the time_t argument

echo 0 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm      #this clears your alarm.
echo $1 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm     #this writes your alarm

cat /proc/driver/rtc > /tmp/rtc
cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm >> /tmp/rtc
echo "Argument 1 = $1, SECS = $SECS" >> /tmp/rtc
