I have no help to offer regarding mythtv, or your shutdown/wakeup
scheme.
I'm interested in your GNU screen problems, though:
In the past when that happens I have set up "screen", and entered an
used "sleep 1m && who -u" to find out why its not detecting me as
logged out. I set that command running, detach from screen, logout,
ensure the minute is up, log back in and re-enter my screen session
to see what it made of things.
That no longer works.
So, just to be sure we are on the same page, you do all of the above
as userjoe and then, after waiting 60 seconds and logging back in
again as userjoe,
$ screen -ls
tells you that there are no sockets in /run/screen/S-userjoe ?
It appears that systemd now kills off all processess associated with
the user - or rather I found a bug report that said that had
happened about a year ago as the default had changed.
You are refering to one of these bug reports, I guess, which were
marked fixed in version systemd/230-2 ?
#825941 - screen is killed by systemd when the user logs out
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=825941
#825394 - systemd kill background processes after user logs out
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=825394
I have upgraded a minimal jessie install to stretch, and installed GNU
screen after the upgrade, and I am unable to replicate the breakage. I
log out, and my detached screen sessions survive.
It would be interesting to know what makes the difference.
What output do you get for the following four commands? (I include
output from my own system here for comparison.)
$ systemd --version
