[mythtv-users] setting the next wake-up time

Last week I was away and tried to schedule a few recordings. When I arrived 
back I found that some of the shows had not been recorded. I suspect there 
was a crash or maybe a power failure because in the log file I can see that 
the backend started recording but the entry immediately following this one is 
about my starting up the machine manually. The BE did not wake up for the 
other recordings after this failure and this recording has the status 
'aborted'.
So what I suspect is that -at least in my setup- the next wake-up is scheduled 
only when the back end decides to shut down the machine - which obviously 
does not happen in case of a crash or a power failure. Is my assumption 
correct? If so, can this behavior changed? I thought it would be better to 
call the script that sets the CMOS wake-up time as soon as this date/time 
changes (ie. a new recording is scheduled and also right after startup).
