[mythtv-users] Autostart frontend ONLY on manual startup?

[Lane Schwartz]

Has anyone figured out an elegant way to do the following:

- Have Myth frontend start up automatically if and only if the machine
was started manually


Specifically, the frontend should autostart if I walk up to the
computer and press the power button on the machine. The frontend
should not start if nvram-wakeup set the BIOS start time and the
machine started up by itself.

I have a combo frontend/backend box. I use nvram-wakeup, so once I
exit the frontend, the machine shuts down after 5 mins if it's not
recording anything. It wakes itself up 5 mins before it needs to
record the next show.

Right now the frontend does not start automatically; I have to press
the power button on my remote to start the frontend. This is so that
the machine can start up automatically, record something, then shut
down automatically.

It would be nice to have the frontend start automatically when I
manually start the box, but not start when the box autostarted.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Lane
