Norm,
That was it, I noticed that mysql wasn't running a little bit after I sent the
message out. What I find weird is that the mythtv-backend start script within
etc/init.d/ in Ubuntu wouldn't check to make sure mysql is running before firing up
mythtv-backend. Even if I did a restart, shouldn't it error out and tell me that
mysql isn't running???? Anyway, thanks for responding.
