I don't shut my system down, but I think MythWelcome was created partly
to address this problem. Basically it sits behind the frontend and
allows a lirc-initiated startup of the front end. So you wouldn't need
to start the front end up, just Mythwelcome. The only issue would be
training the family to exit the front end back to Mythwelcome when they
were finished.<br>

that auto-shutdown will not trigger if the&nbsp; front-end is&nbsp; running but I
have my environment auto start MythTV on power-up as I want the box to
be as simple to use as possible for other family. I guess I could map
some remote key to fire up the front-end if the system has auto-started
for a scheduled recording but ideally I'd not like to expose the Window
Manager at all.

Wondering if anyone has anyone configured a system to detect a period
of inactivity in the frontend and allow auto-shutdown with it running
and if so how did you go about it? If not, are there any other good
workarounds you're using?
  <br>
  <br>
I guess you could run a background process capturing the interval
between user triggered events and shutting down&nbsp; the front-end when
this interval exceeds a preset. The backend would be configured to
shutdown 5 or so minutes later. Problem is this might interfere with
imminent scheduled recordings.
