I use checkshutdown --syslog instead of mythshutdown -c to check that all's
ready for the backend to shut the machine down.
This script checks for various types of activity before giving the all clear:
* active ssh sessions
* recent apache activity (eg. mythweb)
* sabnzbd downloading
* mythshutdown --status
Inspired by James FitzGibbon's mythcheckshutdown. Thanks James!
I needed to modify my /etc/logrotate.d/apache file to make the apache logfile world-readable. This might not be the best solution.
Called by mythbackend to set the ACPI wakeup time.
usage:
MythShutdownNvramCmd sudo sh -c "/usr/local/bin/setwakeuptime $time
Adapted from this page on the MythTV wiki, with the addition of setting the BIOS clock before setting the wakeup alarm.
