$status paramater not returning "auto"

The $status parameter not returning the value "auto" in the "Startup
command:" field on the "Shutdown/Wakeup Options" when the machine is
automatically started using the wakeup options. I am trying to use this
parameter to not start mythfrontend when the machine is automatically
started to record a scheduled program so it will shutdown automatically
when it is done. What could I be missing?

As stated in the other mail, I do not have a running setup currently. So lets
first find out why your wakeup is early, then lets have a look at the 'auto'
info, as those two could probably be linked (Only if mythtv is the faulty one
thats sets it up early).

take care, have fun

Re: $status paramater not returning "auto" [In reply to]

I believe I have solved my early wakeup problem. nvram-wakeup has a
setting to wake 5 minutes before the intended start time:

From nvram-wakup.h:

//*
* WAKEUP_BEFORE is the number of minutes the machine needs for booting. I.e.
* we will set the wake up time WAKEUP_BEFORE menutes before we
* need the machine to be up and running.
* NEED_TO_SHTDWN is the number of minutes the machine needs between calling
* nvram-wakeup and poweroff.
* I.e. we don't accept wake up times less than
* (NEED_TO_SHTDWN + WAKEUP_BEFORE) minutes
* in the future
*
* If NEED_TO_SHTDWN is too small, it may happen that the wake up time is passed
* while shutdown process, so the machine will wake up one month or (on the
* boards, which store the month number) one year later than expected.
*
* I think, it is sufficient to set NEED_TO_SHTDWN to 5 minutes but your mileage
* may vary.
*//

#*define* WAKEUP_BEFORE 5


I have just adjusted my wakeup time by adding 300 seconds to the $time
value. Now I have complete control of when the machine starts.

So these problems do not appear to be related.
