When mythwelcome wakes to record, you should get the mythwelcome screen. Then it should shut down again afterwards. It's the same screen you get when you first exit the frontend.

Well yes, thats how it should be, but what if my system allways starts with frontend, also if woken up for recording?

If you start it manually, do you get two frontends? (ps -ef | grep frontend to see). If so, you need to find what is starting the second one and stop it from starting.

If not, something may be wrong with the sql settings. I had something weird happen once on upgrade with mythwelcome:

http://knoppmyth.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.p ... sql#112662

That was for a different release and a different setting. The one you are interested in is MythShutdownWakeupTime. You can check it with

Code:
mysql -umythtv mythconverg
mysql> select * from settings where value='MythShutdownWakeupTime';
+------------------------+---------------------+----------+
| value                  | data                | hostname |
+------------------------+---------------------+----------+
| MythShutdownWakeupTime | 2010-10-31T09:00:00 | NULL     |
+------------------------+---------------------+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql>
If you do this after the computer wakes up to record, the time should be within 10 minutes of when it woke up (that's the criteria that mythwelcome uses to determine if it should start the frontend). Also, hostname should be NULL. If it is not, then change it with a command similar to the one in the post referenced above (but change the value to MythShutdownWakeupTime.

Code:
root      4218  4217  0 09:51 ?        00:00:00 runsv frontend
root      4295  4273  0 09:51 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/logger -p local6.info -t mythfrontend
mythtv    5050  4975  0 09:52 ?        00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/LH/bin/mythfrontend-start
mythtv    5053  5050  4 09:52 ?        00:03:11 mythfrontend --logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log


for me that looks like there are two frontends running - am I right?

That looks okay. mythfrontend_real is just a wrapper script that calls mythfrontend.

Check the sql entry for the wakeup time. Is the hostname NULL?

With MythWelcome running, press 'i'. Do you see the "Automatically Start Myth Frontend" near the bottom? Is it checked? If so, uncheck it.

OK Thanks, that was checked, and now mythfrontend doesnt start anymore.

So this flag checks if it was started manually or not right?
