Comment 8 for bug 542627

I can also confirm this on Ubuntu10.4 with MythTV 0.23. Similar to the not-waiting-for-udev bug, the additional condition "stopping mysql" is a good workaround for my use case (mysql server dedicated to mythtv).

Isn't there also a way to shutdown the backend manually? When using acpi wake-on-alarm & mythbackend's shutdown option, one could also add this command right before "sudo shutdown -h now", which is normally used. However, this may eventually fail since the backend stops itself before executing the final shutdown command? Wierd stuff :-)
