Howdy, and thank you for helping to improve Mythbuntu, not only by
opening this ticket, but by during further analysis on the issue.  I
marked this as confirmed since it appears to have enough information to
help the developers quickly resolve the problem. It is possible I am
wrong and another more experienced triager or developer may adjust the
status of the bug to "incomplete" and request additional information.

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Triaged

Bug description:
I start mythfrontend with the openbox autostart script located in .config:

#!/bin/sh
# Run the system-wide support stuff
.$GLOBALAUTOSTART

# Programs to launch at startup
irexec -d

# Since upstart, we need to wait a little for the backend to start
sleep 5
mythfrontend --service &

In /etc/mythtv/mythtv-settings I have the following line enabled
MYTHWELCOME=true

All the other lines are commented out. I also have nvram-wakeup configured, so my box will start whenever it needs to record something. I would also like it to shutdown once it is done recording. 

Problem is that since 9.10 mythfrontend gets started everytime my mythbox boots. So it won't shutdown after the recording has finished. This used to work with 9.04. I guess upstream changed the way an automatic start gets calculated.
