​Well that was short lived :)

on the code I pulled,

[greg at yoga mythtv]$ grep -ri cmdrecfinished *
mythtv/libs/libmythtv/mythsystemevent.cpp:
m_settings["EventCmdRecFinished"]          = // REC_FINISHED
mythtv/programs/mythbackend/config_backend_general.xml:
value="EventCmdRecFinished" label="Recording finished"
mythtv/programs/mythbackend/config_backend_general.xml:
help_text="EventCmdRecFinished"

I have no clue how to match ​m_settings["EventCmdRecFinished"]          =

:)

​to something useful.  I am no programmer, but can usually read
non-obfuscated (shout out to the perl monks :) code, but this I cannot
follow..  oh well.  I guess I will chnage it to a user job and be done with
it..​
