Thanks for that Peter. Strangely, the first time I ran it I got all sorts of database init errors: Using runtime prefix = /usr/local 2005-12-12 12:07:24.347 Unable to read configuration file mysql.txt 2005-12-12 12:07:24.347 Trying to create a basic mysql.txt file 2005-12-12 12:07:24.348 Could not create /root/.mythtv 2005-12-12 12:07:24.348 Failed to init MythContext, exiting. Which scared me into reomoving the HOME variable and the nice and chuid stuff, after which it worked. I then ran the original script without the changes and that worked too... weird! Anyway, I can now start and stop the backend as I wanted from the startup scripts. EXCELLENT!
