I have a headless dedicated backend (Mythdora 5.0 - FC8/Myth 0.21) and have used a number of resources to setup my smoothwall router to auto wol the backend when a recording starts implementing mythwelcome et al. (I can't use acpi or suspend to ram as this is a dell pe2650 and I can't get it to use either)<br>
<br>
My last problem is that mythwelcome will not start its shutdown timer until I start mythfrontend on the backend machine and then esc out of mythfrontend back to the mythwelcome screen. Then the countdown starts and all works well from there.<br>
<br>
This all seems kinda counter to the idea of a dedicated backend since it is a headless server and I don't use mythfrontend on it at all.<br>
<br>
So, my question is, how do I get MythWelcome to just 'kick in' to its counter rather than sitting there saying idle until mythfrontend is started and then exited.<br>
<br>
BTW, I am aware that this has likely been asked and answered before, but I'll be dog-goned if I can find it.<br>
<br>
thanks<br>

</blockquote></div><br>Uncheck the 'Block Shutdown Before Client Connected' setting in mythtv-setup. Also there is a setting on MythWelcome's settings page to not start the frontend when starting up manually.<br>
