[Allen Edwards]

Success!  Thanks so much for the help. There is no way I could have done
this on my own.

I put the whoami > wai.txt at the beginning of the script and found that
wai.txt said 'dad' and there was a popup asking for my password. Then only
half the script ran, which was disturbing. After adding dad to the
sudoers.d file as suggested, and adding sudo to the key instruction I now
find that pressing the button works and both halves of the script run.

I have programmed a key on my remote to execute the script and have vdpau
back for playback. Now I just have to wait a month or so for mythfrontend
to lock up and really test this script. My only fear is that the underlying
problem is that the video card is locking up and that it is not an OS
problem and that this will not clear it. I will let you all know.

Thanks again for your help.

Just for the record, here is what I did. Note, I added mythtv in the
sudoers.d/killgui file as part of my troubleshooting. I doubt it is
necessary










*dad at NewMyth:/usr/local/bin$ more killgui.sh#!/bin/bash        whoami >
/home/dad/whi.txt         while [  true  ]; do                systemctl
isolate multi-user.target                if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
       systemctl isolate graphical.target                     exit 0
        fi                sleep 1         done*


*dad at NewMyth:/usr/local/bin$ ls -l killgui.sh-r-xr-x--- 1 root mythtv 246
