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.

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?

Sounds good to me.

Oh, I didn't see a way to select those items in the Status screen. I'll
have to reexamine that.
Thanks for your response, I just hope someone could point me to these
posts that I'm missing.
