[mythtvnz] Request: post mythwelcome activity in /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log

[Matt Poff]

I'm trying to configure mythwelcome to set wake time on my system but 
the script which writes the timestamp to the BIOS is not being called. 
Unhelpfully, the mythwelcome suite (particularly mythshutdown) doesn't 
seem to log any message activity except 10 second countdown intervals 
until shutdown so I can't work out why it isn't calling the shell script 
which sets the wake time.

The script runs fine off the command line and sets the acpi alarm 
setting correctly (with UTC offset for my BIOS).

My script is /usr/bin/MythWakeSet and it has been added to the sudoer 
list with visudo. I've run it as the mythtv user off the command line 
and it runs OK so I won't post the contents. I'm certain the issue lies 
somewhere between the backend and mythwelcome. The command string 
entered into the mythwelcome nvram wakeup field is "sudo 
/usr/bin/MythWakeSet" but it doesn't get called when Myth shuts the 
system down.

If anyone *is* using mythwelcome with an acpi wakeup (rather than nvram) 
I'd really appreciate if you could post your shutdown/wake settings from 
mythtv-setup and mythwelcome setup and any activity in mythbackend.log 
which shows mythwelcome/mythshutdown activity.
