Jason-

Just had a chance to follow up on your help.  We must be running
different versions of MythTV.

I'm running 0.23.20100314-1, AKA branches/release-0-23-fixes, or version 24158.

In my version, the page you identified has a pull-down to choose what
menu options to present the user and another to choose what the exit
key should be.  There is no entry field there for what command or
program to run to shut down the system.  The only one I've found is in
the mythtv-setup program, and I already pointed that at hibernate.

Thanks for the suggestions, though.

Craig.
