I got a NFS-rooted slave back end with two ivtv cards and i want the
master back end to start and stop that computer when needed. i.e. 3 minutes or so before a recording is to take place.

What i hope to achieve with this setup is the following:
* Stability: the ivtv has a history of hard crashing the back
  end computer when it's been running for a month or so.
* More computers -> more PCI slots -> more capture cards
* energy efficiency

I understand that the normal behavior of the master mythbackend is to
start ALL slave back ends on startup and terminate them when MBE is
shutting down. But i find that a bit, ehrm - inefficient (i censored out
what i really think of it).

So, before i start coding, i was wondering if anybody else has done
something similar? (I'm lazy:)
