[mythtv-users] Restarting the backend from the frontend

[Rossco]

I also found I had to call this from monit to start mythbackend

#!/bin/bash
export TERM=vt100
/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart

If I didn't set the TERM variable, user jobs that run nuvexport-xvid 

/usr/bin/nuvexport-xvid --nice 19 --input="%FILE%"

would fail to execute due to a perl module complaining and exiting, with
this error in the logs

TERM not set at /usr/share/nuvexport/nuv_export/shared_utils.pm line 69
