Post subject:  Suspend/Sleep via remote
Is there a way to have KM exit to the main menu, and then suspend/hibernate/sleep whatever its called. I am getting several FEs setup and they dont need to be one 24/7, but I dont want them to be totally off either because I want to avoid the whole reboot process.

Like they did here maybe by configuring the power button in lircrc to sudo /sbin/halt

I thought I had seen this somewhere, and it turned out to be in the MCE Remote Wiki entry at the MythTV Wiki:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MCE_Remote#S3_.2F_Suspend_To_RAM

EDIT: I just found another, more generic, instruction:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Keys-_customized_remote_control_keys#Configuring_the_power_button_to_do_DPMS_sleep.2Funsleep

I am not sure how this would need to be changed to suit your configuration, but it would be a good starting point.

Cheers
Victor

If anyone else is finds this I found this script that turns the monitor off if you dont want to deal with two remotes to turn your TV off. I just need to figure out how to have it exit to the main menu from the script.

Code:
#!/bin/bash

STATUS=`xset -q | grep "Monitor is" | awk '{print $3}'`

if [ "${STATUS}" = "On" ]
then
   xset dpms force off
else
   xset dpms force on
fi
exit 0
