Mythbackend shutsdown even if frontend is connected

Hi

I have my mythtv backend on one machine, and the frontend on another. I have set a daily wake period from 16 to 23, and the backend shuts down just fine at 23:15 (15min idle period). But the backend shuts down even if I have the frontend running!

I have created a script that checks if a user is logged ind called mythshutdown-wrapper.sh and set preSDWUCheckCommand in the database to this script. This also works fine, i.e. if I'm logged in after 23 the machine does not shutdown, but if I log out, it shuts down 15min later. The script looks like:

if last | head | grep -q ".*still logged in"; then
  /usr/bin/logger "mythshutdown-wrapper: user logged in"
  exit 1
else 
  /usr/bin/mythshutdown -c
  RETCODE=${?}
  /usr/bin/logger "mythshutdown-wrapper: mythshutdown said: ${RETCODE}"
  exit ${RETCODE}
fi

The mythbackend.log does not really offer much info (starts when I start the frontend, and ends when the backend shuts donw):

*bump*

I have created a work around, I call "mythshutdown -l" before mythwelcome and "mythshutdown -u" when I close mythwelcome.


Kind regards, enrique
