[mythtv-users] Auto poweroff an idle front-end?

[Michelle Dupuis]

I may have to do something like this.  Is there a way to prompt mythfrontend for:
1. How long it has been idle
2. If it is idle?

Then I can add a cron job and try for an intelligent shutdown...

I now have several mythtv front-ends and often find front-ends running unused for days.  Is there a way to configure a front-end to power itself down if has been idle for (eg) 2 hours?

See mythwelcome and/or feel free to play with the new frontend idle support.

Another easy way is to have pm-suspend (or shutdown) as a daily cron job at 2am or when ever it is past your typical usage times.
