Issue with my bash script

[backyard]

Okay, forgive me I'm bit of a hack. I have a mythtv box running on Fedora and I wrote a script to kill the frontend and to turn off my monitor. I found two separate scripts that each worked independently and I've tried merging the two together but it's not working as planned. The monitor will shut off but the script exits without killing the frontend. The frontend is the GUI that allows you to select what you want to do on myth. The reason I want to kill the frontend on shutoff is so the TV won't still be recording while gone (WAF).

 

I'm posting the original scripts and the merged script.

Original:

#!/bin/bash
PROG=mythfrontend
STATUS=`ps -e | grep $PROG | grep -v grep | wc -l | awk '{print $1}'`

if [ `echo $DISPLAY | grep -c ":0"` -ge 1 ]
then
    if [ $STATUS -eq 0 ]
    then

        ( $PROG -d & )
touch /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-on;
    else

        if [ -a /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-off ]
        then
                touch /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-on;
                exit;
        else
                touch /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-off;
                sleep 3;
                if [ -a /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-on ]
                then
	    
                    rm -rf /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-o* && killall $PROG
                fi
                rm -rf /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-o*
        fi
        rm -rf /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-o*
    fi
fi
exit 0

 

Merged:

#!/bin/bash
PROG=mythfrontend
STATUS=`ps -e | grep $PROG | grep -v grep | wc -l | awk '{print $1}'` #frontend running variable
STATUS2=`xset -q | grep "Monitor is" | awk '{print $3}'` #screen on variable

if [ "${STATUS2}" = "On" ]
then
   xset dpms force off
if [ `echo $DISPLAY | grep -c ":0"` -ge 1 ]
then
    if [ $STATUS -eq 0 ]
    then

        ( $PROG -d & )
touch /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-on;
    else

        if [ -a /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-off ]
        then
                touch /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-on;
                exit;
        else
                touch /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-off;
                sleep 3;
                if [ -a /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-on ]
                then
	    
                    rm -rf /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-o* && killall $PROG
                fi
                rm -rf /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-o*
        fi
        rm -rf /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-o*
    fi
fi
else
   xset dpms force on
if [ `echo $DISPLAY | grep -c ":0"` -ge 1 ]
then
    if [ $STATUS -eq 0 ]
    then

        ( $PROG -d & )
touch /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-on;
    else

        if [ -a /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-off ]
        then
                touch /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-on;
                exit;
        else
                touch /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-off;
                sleep 3;
                if [ -a /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-on ]
                then
	    
                    rm -rf /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-o* && killall $PROG
                fi
                rm -rf /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-o*
        fi
        rm -rf /video/mytharchive/mythtemp/mythpowerbutton-o*
    fi
fi
fi



exit 0;

 

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

methinks you're at the wrong website for this.

I saw some other people posted questions about bash on this forum in "other languages" so I figured I'd give it a shot but I'll look for another forum though.
