I have now put in a work-around for this on my system. I have a shell script which runs hourly which checks to see if there are any important programs running. If there aren't then it restarts mythbackend which will then make it do its auto-shutdown checking again when the time is right. I've attached the shell scripts if anyone is interested: functions.sh - contains functions to check if recording or anything important running mythbackend_restart.sh - restarts mythbackend service if all OK Regards, Phill
