Unfortunately, I am not at home to get the settings from the backend but I can get the
database entries:
| idleTimeoutSecs | 600 |
| idleWaitForRecordingTime | 20 |
| StartupSecsBeforeRecording | 300 |
| WakeupTimeFormat | time_t |
| SetWakeuptimeCommand | /usr/local/bin/nvram-wakeup -C /etc/nvram-wakeup.conf -w 0 -l -s $time |
| ServerHaltCommand | /usr/local/bin/mythtv_shutdown |
| preSDWUCheckCommand | mythshutdown -v all --check |
Below are the database entries for mythwelcome:
| MythShutdownNvramCmd | /usr/local/bin/nvram-wakeup -C /etc/nvram-wakeup.conf -l -w 0 -s $time |
| MythShutdownWakeupTimeFmt | time_t |
| MythShutdownNvramRestartCmd | /usr/local/bin/grub-set-reboot |
| MythShutdownReboot | /sbin/reboot |
| MythShutdownPowerOff | /sbin/poweroff |
| MythShutdownXTermCmd | gnome-terminal |
| MythWelcomeStartFECmd | /usr/bin/mythfrontend |

Sounds odd, can you post the settings from your backend and
mythwelcome and I'll compare it with mine.
