Post subject:  problem with wakeuptime command

All,

Now that I have working knopmyth setup I am trying to tune the "Shutdown/Wakeup" options. I have a working WOL (wake on lan) ethernet device in my box. from my webserver I can do wol MACaddress and this boots my mythtv box. I also have a script to send the time to my webserver to use the at command to wake up the mythtv box. Bassically I have followed the guide at http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-11.html#ss11.6
The problem is with the $time param that should be passed to my wakeuptime command.
This is the script :

root@mythtv:/home/mythtv# more /usr/local/bin/mythwake-script.sh
#! /bin/sh
sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol g
#echo $1 | nc new-server 5100
echo $@ > /home/mythtv/wakeup.tx

For testing purposes I write the output to a file.
When the mythbackend is idle it calls this script but never passes the $time argument.
I have read QT::QDateTime.toString docs and tried out tens of combinations but when my script gets executed it never receives the $time data.
The "wakeuptime format" is now hh:mm dd-MM-YY

Any ideas how to further debug this problem ?

regards,
Nico

I have read the WakeupToRecord wiki howto. This uses the nvram to wake up the box. The wakeup time format used in the wiki is "time_t", but even when i use this param and write a simpel script to write the argument to a file when mythtv is idle,nothing is passed. In the mythbackend log there is no indications what is going wrong. The only thing I know for sure is that mythbackend executes the script but apperently no $time data is passed.
This is where I am stuck.

regards,
Nico
