I'm trying to get the Shutdown/Wakeup working using the Alternative Method listed at the end of <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Shutdown_Wakeup" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Shutdown_Wakeup</a><br>
The basic idea is instead of changing the Alarm Resume setting in BIOS,
keep that set at a constant time and change the system time in the BIOS
right before shutting down. It is then changed back before
starting Mythbackend when the system resumes.
<br><br>I have the setup working outside of MythTV. When I run
settime "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" and shutdown it starts as I set it with
the time reset correctly. The problem I have is getting MythTV to
work with these scripts. I want to use Mythwelcome so when I exit
frontend it will show up and shutdown my computer as the Backend allows
it. With my current settings, Mythwelcome shows when I exit frontend,
but when it is idle, it counts down to 10 and then does nothing.
My current settings are as follows:
<br><br>In mythtv-setup (Shutdown/Wakeup Settings):<br><br>Block shutdown before client connected: No<br>
Idle Timeout: 120 sec<br>
Max wait for recording: 15 min<br>
Startup before rec: 160 sec<br>
wakeup time format: time_t<br>
Set wakeuptime command: /usr/sbin/settime<br>
Server halt command: /sbin/halt -p<br>
Pre Shutdown check command : exit 0<br><br>In mythwelcome --setup:<br><br>nvram wakeup command : blank<br>
nvram-wakeup restart command<br>
command to reboot: /sbin/reboot<br>
command to shutdown: /sbin/poweroff<br>
command to run Xterm: xterm<br>
command to run to start frontend: /usr/bin/mythfrontend<br><br>System Specs<br>KnoppMyth R5D1<br>Intel Celeron 3.06GHz<br>MSI PM8M-V Motherboard<br>GeForce FX5200<br>512MB DDR400<br>1xPVR-250 Tuner Card<br><span style="font-family: monospace;">
