[mythtv-users] is there an easy way to reboot in software through myth

[Brad Benson]

If you're using one of the Fedora/Red Hat distros and you already have
the swatch packages installed then making it run at startup is as
simple as logging in to your box as root and typing "/sbin/chkconfig
swatch on".  chkconfig is a very easy to use tool that allows you to
configure which services are started and stopped in each runlevel on
your box.  Try /sbin/chkconfig --list to see a list of all services
and their default modes in each runlevel.
