Not really, it's the
humaxtv process which is stopping it powering down. There is also an explanation of the delinquent half-awake in
Things Every... (click) section 18.
Let me see if I got this:
auto update gets created every day at 4.30am. disable ota deletes it then turns off the t2 at 4.40 but it still shows in webif until my daily on/off at 15.00. but if the disk is still spinning, which I assume it was because my turning off / on the t2 still displayed a green screen and I did not hear the click, then my on/off will have no reboot effect. my hdmi connection only gets reset after a disk not spinning then on.
You haven't got this at all.
I can't see any sign of the Disable OTA reminder entry in your WebIF schedule screen shot in post 1. There should be a separate entry for 20 minutes from 0420 daily - it is this which wakes up the machine and makes it busy so that if there is an 0430 "Auto Update" schedule it dies not get acted on. If you have chosen not to use the reminder entry (switched off in the
WebIF >> Settings >> Settings for disable-ota package), you are accepting the risk that an OTA could get through in return for not having the Humax turn on in the early morning every day.
What should happen is this:
The Humax adds an Auto Update schedule entry when it feels like it.
If the unit reboots
before the next 0430 Auto Update event, the
disable-ota package will remove it from the schedule during the boot process. If there is no reboot between the Auto Update being added to the schedule and the next 0430 slot, the unit will wake up at 0430, check for an OTA, and if it finds one install it thus disabling the CF.
The 20-minute 0420 reminder schedule is not meant to profile the pre-0430 boot, although it is a side-effect if the unit happens to be off at the time. The unit could equally well be on already, in which case there is no boot process. The purpose of the reminder is to make the machine busy with a higher priority task so that it ignores the 0430 Auto Update schedule item.
Your delinquent half-awake is preventing the unit from rebooting, and that is nothing to do with
disable-ota (other than preventing it doing its job). You should reconsider having the automatic reminder entry switched off, for the reasons noted.
