mikep554, It sounds like either your network isn't up when the backend tries to start (which shouldn't actually be possible with our startup script) or more likely, MySQL isn't up when the master backend tries to start. Can you please post your /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log file?

Steps to reproduce: 1) Reboot system 2) Check with 'ps' and the syslog I changed the interface from lo to eth0 in the pre-conditions and also changed .5 to 60 in the script sections but to no avail...
