Ubuntu/Linux WIll not sleep when MythTV Backend is running

This has been very frustrating as I initially thought Ubuntu would not sleep because of the graphics drivers. I figured out it would not sleep when the mythtv backend service was running. It would just sit there with a blinking cursor and totally unresponsive.
To have Ubuntu disable mythtv backend service before sleep and start it again after waking up we need to add a file to /etc/pm/sleep.d/*file name*

#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
        suspend|hibernate)
                stop mythtv-backend
                sleep 3
                ;;
        resume|thaw)
                start mythtv-backend
                ;;
esac
