[mythtv-users] mythbackend fails silenty

[Bob Weber]

Hello. I'm running a slave backend, and I cannot get mythbackend on the slave 
to run.

When I run /etc/init.d/mythbackend start, I get a message that it's running, 
but in reality it fails silently. There are no errors in the log file. ps -e 
doesn' show it. It doesn't die in a clean fashion. /etc/init.d/mythbackend 
restart doesn't work. I need to use the "zap" option to convince the system 
that it's dead.

But I can start mythbackend from the command line
> mythbackend

It starts and connects and everything seems fine. Does anyone know why it 
might be dying, or at least how I can see why? Thanks.
