Bug description:
Dear Team,


yet another bug on my system - fresh install of 10.04, using mythwelcome on a combined Backend/Frontend.

Once or twice a day mythshutdown is not able to shutdown the system after a recording. mythwelcome, 
shutdown command is set to "sudo /usr/bin/mythshutdown --shutdown".

Manually calling this command on a console results sometimes in the following output:

--- snip ---
os@mythtv-livingroom:~$ sudo /usr/bin/mythshutdown --shutdown
Cannot login to database?

Would you like to configure the database connection now? [no]
[console is not interactive, using default ´no´]
mythshutdown: Could not initialize myth context, Exiting.
--- snip ---

Database and backend use a private IP address (192.168.), not loopback device as the backend serves
other frontends as well. The network cable runs to a switch. Network chipset is a r8149.

I have no idea/clue what this error is about, but it prevents mythwelcome/mythshutdown to shutdown the
system back thus eating power forever.

This error happens only ever 5-8 time - in all other cases mythwelcome shuts down the system as requested.

Any tips?
