Using mythshutdown to block shutdown

Mythshutdown can be used to block an automatic shutdown. Since 0.21 it is possible to call mythshutdown --lock for each script so that shutdown will remain blocked until the last script has terminated and called mythshutdown --unlock.

script.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Unlock if the script is terminated for any reason
trap "/usr/local/bin/mythshutdown --unlock" 0 SIGHUP SIGINT SIGQUIT SIGABRT SIGKILL SIGALRM SIGSEGV SIGTERM

# Lock shutdown
/usr/local/bin/mythshutdown --lock

# Do script stuff
