[mythtv-users] Controlling where commercial flagging happens

Run mythtv-setup on each backend and go to the JobQueue page and turn on/off
the jobs you want to allow running on each particular backend.  You can
control each job individually (for instance if you want to run
commercial flagging and transcoding jobs on one backend and User Job #1 on
another instance of mythbackend running somewhere else.  If you want to have
a machine that just runs jobs and not a full-blown backend, you can just run
mythtv-setup to configure the jobqueue and then run mythjobqueue on that
server instead of mythbackend.
