[mythtv-users] CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE

[Allen Edwards]

Correction: What I did was verify that I could change a key and test it,
then put an action that I verified would kill mythfrontend in and set the
key to irexec. Didn't do anything.

I have tried this without success.  Here is what I did.
1) I modified a key config action to escape
2) I verified that the key was now the escape key
3) I  modified the same key definition to run irexec and changed the config
action to "killall mythfrontend.real"
4) The key did nothing. Myth did not close and the pid did not change
5) I copied the config action to a terminal and it killed mythfrontend

By the way, myth does not restart when I kill it.

This is not exactly what you told me to do but it seemed like it should
work.
