[mythtv-users] Slave Backend with Frontend suspend functionality?

Hi,

I'm in the process of migrating my MBE to another computer, in the
hope of being able to suspend the loungeroom computer when it's not in
use (amongst other things).

The loungeroom computer will be a slave backend containing both (real)
tuners. It also runs the main frontend.

Reading over http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/commits/373731#373731
, it was unclear to me whether the functionality to put idle slave
backends to sleep takes into account running frontends. Can anyone
clear that up for me?

Also, what is the appropriate command for SleepCommand to put the
machine into a low power (S3?) suspend?

Finally, is it possible to wake a machine from such a suspend with an
MCE remote using the USB reciever?

Thanks,
- Chris
