Comment 15 for bug 875817

That would only work if "Light Display Manager" was the only login manager in existence, and everyone used it.

I need some way to distinguish between human interactive users that the computer should not shut down on and automated sessions that the computer can be shut down on.

The reality is though that I really should not have to do this at all. Cron should be extended to handle the wake up timer, and handle the decision on when to shut down the computer, when it should turn itself on, and when it should remain on. It is an oddity that MythTV is allowed to control such a global resource, and us users have to try and add patches to extend its functionality.
