I am not sure how this will respond. I do know that a couple months ago I tried
using ntpdate to adjust the system clock and it caused mythbackend to die. No
idea why, it just simply stopped. It wasn't even recording anything. I haven't
tried lately. Anyone have any ideas? I have been running ntpdate while myth
isn't running periodically since I had problems.
