Why not run the backend as non-root instead?

Certainly an option. I didn't go that path because I hold out hope for the real time threads feature.

AFAIK, real-time threads are only used in the frontend, not the backend.

I'm sure there was a reason I thought the backend was better running as root, but you seem to be correct. I'm testing a patch to the init script to fix the problem instead of that one.

Does anyone know how to make something like:

export HOME=~${USER}

actually work in sh?

export HOME=/home/mythtv
and
export HOME=~mythtv

both set HOME to /home/mythtv

but having USER as a variable sets HOME to "~mythtv" which is then not expanded into "/home/mythtv".

Anyway, it seems adding one of the first two to the init script fixes the problem I was having, so that patch is not needed.

Be well,
