[mythtv-users] Pre-shutdown Check Command

[John Massengale]

Thanks for the response. The machine shuts down without any problems. I
also use the machine as a desktop and when I'm logged in I don't want the
machine to shut down. I only want it to shut down when I'm logged out.

The Pre-shutdown Check Command is supposed to keep it from shutting down of
someone is logged on but it never executes and the machine shuts down
interrupting what I'm doing.
