No, mythcommflag (in /usr/local/bin) is in root's PATH, and root is running mythbackend. I don't see anything in my init.d script for mythbackend that would change the default root PATH available.

If you are running a RedHat/Fedora based system (and possibly others) the PATH is reset in /etc/init.d/functions. Look for a line near the top that looks like this: PATH="/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin"


Add the following to /etc/sysconfig/mythbackend:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

Of course there are several other solutions also.


Search for this error message on the mailing lists and you'll find
several solutions.


Search where? I plugged "ERROR: Unable to find mythcommflag" and "to find mythcommflag" into Google, restricted to gossamer-threads.com and also unrestricted and didn't find more than a single hit on the dev list noting some CVS commit or something. Am I misspelling something? Am I searching in the wrong area?
