 I am in the same boat, I have my backend setup to auto power down and 
wake to record, but my kids turn on the (seperate) frontend, then turn 
off the TV and go to school. :-(.  As the frontend is up and running all 
day means that the backend still has a client and doesnt turn off.

I thought mythshutdown and mythwelcome were aimed at backend machines, 
not front-ends ?
Is there an equivelent of mythshutdown for a frontend only box ? Or am I 
misisng the point and mythshutdown works on frontends anyway :-)
