Note that when you manually turn you backend on, with your current settings,
it will shutdown in 600 seconds. (if the mythbackend isn't doing anything)

So, to hold it up, you can type:

     mythshutdown --lock

It may be -l in 0.25. mythshutdown -h will tell you. Don't forget to
unlock it with --unlock (again check with -h.)

Your latest pastebin looks fine. But I like Roger's idea. That's what
I do in my script. I'd even go a step further and add the following
3 lines at the end of the script:

cat /proc/driver/rtc > /tmp/rtc
cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm >> /tmp/rtc
echo "Argument 1 = $1, SECS = $SECS" >> /tmp/rtc

It would be interesting to compare the value of Argument 1 and SECS.
I expect they will be the same, as I showed in a previous email.
