Bill - thanks for the tips - it was very helpful to see the output of the
command (see below), but unfortunately, I still can't see a reason it's not
shutting down after the backend records something.

I'll try your other suggestion about Starting the backend with the -v
idle,system tonight and see what that does.


mythshutdown --check -v general --loglevel info

When it's recording this is the output from the check

As soon as it's done recording

As soon as it's done with flagging commercials, etc. - There were no shows
scheduled to record for over 24 hours, so I just let it sit all night and
it never shut down.

The next day I restarted the machine, got the mythshutdown check info
below, and 20 min later it shutdown just the way it was supposed to. I'm
stumped.
