There have been a couple of occasions where mythbackend has crashed on me (my own doing, nothing wrong with it) and I was subsequently unable to restart it with:
/sbin/service mythbackend start
I tried */sbin/service mythbackend stop* then restarting but it still would not start.
I took a look at */etc/init.d/mythbackend* and there is a lock file that prevents starting of mythbackend if it exists. If mythbackend crashes, this file remains and prevents it from being restarted via the script previously mentioned.
Additionally, if mythbackend is not already running when */sbin/service mythbackend stop* is run, the lock file does not get removed if it exists.
I don't know if this is the proper place to let the developers know about this, so forgive me if not.
