Heh, no problem... Glad to help because this exact same problem was giving me nothing but trouble and for weeks I was starting mythbackend manually so I decided I should do something about it.

I took your script, emaild it to my son at home, he twiddled with it a tad bit

IT WORKS!

Kinda.... :')

I took your script and had to morph it a bit to:

#!/sbin/runscript

depend() {
       need net
       use mysql
}

start() {
       [[ -z "${MYTH_VERBOSE}" ]] && MYTH_VERBOSE="none"

       QTDIR=/usr/qt/3

       #fixes for bug #101308
       unset DISPLAY
       unset SESSION_MANAGER

       # Work around any strange permissions that may be on these files.
       chown -R mythtv /var/log/mythtv/

       ebegin "Starting MythTV Backend"
       /usr/bin/mythbackend -l /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
-p /var/run/mythbackend.pid -v all -d
       eend $?
}

stop () {
       ebegin "Stopping MythTV Backend"
       killall -2 mythbackend
       rm  /var/run/mythbackend.pid
       eend $?
}

# end of script


When I get home tonight, I'm going to try to add the start-and-stop stuff
backinto it ad see how that effects it. Better still, I'm going to find out
why this works so well...

Thank you a million, Steve.
