I am trying to find the backend log (as reported in the system status section of the frontend. All I have found is a .logrotate file in /etc/logrotate.d with this inside it.

/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log {

   missingok
   compress
   compresscmd /usr/bin/bzip2
   uncompresscmd /usr/bin/bunzip2
   compressext .bz2
   weekly
   rotate 4
   size 10M
}


But, /var/log/mythtv  is empty.


So, where is the log?


What does your startup script for mythbackend look like? Are you capturing a log file?


I see what you are getting at.  At the moment I just

sudo -HP -u dklock mythbackend &

in my rc.local script, and I could redirect the output to a log file. Thanks for that suggestion. You see, I thought it was handled more elegantly than this, because of the 'log' that the mythfrontend GUI info page can display. Where is _that_ kept? - in the database? The reason behind my looking for this file is that from time time it reports "Last message repeated xxx time" but I can't see what message it means.
