Hi All,
my English is not so good  Sorry
I made exactly that, what stands with http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=WakeupToRecord
Wake up to correct time to record = OK 
If record finished... PC will not go shutdown = not OK PLEAS HELP
this (knoppmyth-wakeuptest.pl) script does not function
Code: #!/usr/bin/perl
# This script can be called when the mythtv backend starts to
# determine whether the frontend should be shutdown.
#
# If this boot was an automatic wakeup because there is something
# to record, the frontend is shutdown to allow the backend to
# shutdown the computer when it is done recording.
#
# Imporant: In mythtv-setup, this script should be set up to
# be called in the background (with a trailing &) because of the
# sleep.
$kill_frontend = "killall -TERM mythfrontend";
$sleep_time = 30;
# Now the work starts...
if (@ARGV[0] eq "auto") {
sleep $sleep_time;
system "$kill_frontend";
}
why???
Pleas help!
I use R5A12 because with me stable
R5A22 with me not stable <-(WakeUpTorecord 100% function)

Hi,
Can you please post the exact content of your shutdown options including checkboxes (running Mythtv-setup - > settings)? Did you follow the instructions chapter 'How to do it' number 6 of the wiki? Is mythfrontend stopping or not?

Ok
Just to track down the error you could replace the preshutdown command by 'exit 0'. Is mythfrontend (and the computer) shutting down properly? And also waking up for recording the next time? If not, test the output of top, typing in a xterm:
top -u mythtv (typed in xterm)
Anything like mythcommflag of mythtranscode?
If mythfrontend is not shutting down automatically during a recording after automatic start-up, do:
1) shutdown the GUI of mythfrontend manually
2) open a xterm
3) restart mythfrontend GUI (right-click in desktop > restart)
4) switch back to the xterm (using {ALT}+{TAB}
5) type on command line: knoppmyth-wakeuptest.pl auto &
[please post any error message showing up at this point]
6) type on command line: top -u mythtv
7) You should see mythfrontend en mythbackend active (right side of screen). After idle time, mythfrontend should disappear.
8) exit top by typing: q
9) sit and wait until end of recording. The computer should shut down now.
Please post some relevant content of the log files
/var/log/mythtv/mythevent.date
/var/log/mythtv/mythpreshutdown.log
Do they exist?
Regards,
Fiete

Now you should look into mythbackend.log to figure out if there is a line "Recording starts soon, AUTO-Startup assumed". The file is in /var/log/mythtv/
type in XTERM: nano /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log and find a line timestamped close to an "automatic start to record" time.
If you only can find a line "Seem to be woken up by USER" we have to search further.
You can keep the
# startup command: "knoppmyth-wakeuptest.pl $status &"
and replace
# pre-shutdown command: "knoppmyth-preshutdown.sh"

I can be wrong, but it seems that backend is initiating shutdown sequence while in idle time the frontend is going to connect. You can disable this premature shutdown to set the settings to:
# startup command: "knoppmyth-wakeuptest.pl $status &"
# Block shutdown before client connected "Enable"
# idle timeout: "60"
# Set wakeuptime command: "knoppmyth-nvram-set-time.pl $time"
# Halt command: "knoppmyth-shutdown.pl "
# wakeup time format: "time_t"
# Halt command: "knoppmyth-shutdown.pl "
# pre-shutdown command: "exit 0"
Could you try these settings?
Another possibility is that the $status is not defined in MythTV 0.17

Hi brucelee100,
The script /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend should be okay, I think that this script is not that interesting in your case. Now you can test whether there is a call for the script 'knoppmyth-wakeuptest.pl' Please edit the script as root:
Insert a line after $sleep_time = 30; using nano of vi:
Code: system "@ARGV[0] is the argument of the script >> /home/mythtv/test_wakeuptest.log"
Save and exit.
As I am no PERL programmer, I won't know if this works. But it should create a logfile '/home/mythtv/test_wakeuptest.log'. Please try manual startup of the box and automatic startup and post the file test_wakeuptest.log here.
I will verify this modified script on my own box tonight.
Regards,
Fiete

first:
touch /var/log/mythtv/waketest.log
chmod 666 /var/log/mythtv/waketest.log
now: edit knoppmyth-wakeuptest.pl by adding this to the beginning of script
open wakelog, ">> /var/log/mythtv/waketest.log";
Replace:
system "@ARGV[0] is the argument of the script >> /home/mythtv/test_wakeuptest.log";
with
print wakelog, "wakeuptest called with @ARGV[0].\n";
and at the end of script add
close wakelog;
reboot that puppy and send us the log output.

ok google help for this problem
print wakelog, "wakeuptest called with @ARGV[0].\n";
replace

wakeup of record, however /var/log/mythtv/waketest.log is empty
nano /var/log/mythtv/waketest.log:
nothing

sorry, move the print line outside of the if statement. my bad,
Quote: # Now the work starts...
print wakelog "wakeuptest called with @ARGV[0].\n";
if (@ARGV[0] eq "auto") {
sleep $sleep_time;
system "$kill_frontend";
}
Basically, we're trying to see what the wakeup script thinks when it runs. Also, in reviewing the previous posts, I wonder how you are testing this? If you are just manually setting a wakeup time for something a few minutes form now, then the computer will come on, but that start-time is not related to when myth needs to reboot. Thus, the backend thinks it is a user start and not and auto start and so doesn't kill the frontend. Does that make sense? To test this, you'll have to wait for it to AUTOMATICALLY shutdown and wakeup all on its own. [/quote]
