 Hi all,
 This trivial patch makes the scheduler use the myth_system function rather
 than regular system when spawning external processes (eg. startup command,
 shutdown command etc).

 myth_system correcly closes open file descriptors after forking and before
 execing. If a user script spawns other background processes, they too will
 inherit fd's without this change, this causes problems for me and prevents
 my system from suspending.

 While I'm sure there are other solutions for me (my script could close the
 fd's itself), I think this is the way the code should be anyway.

 Thanks,
 Dave
