[mythtv-users] Second mythbackend process on slave backend

[Matthew Jurgens]

I've also noticed a second process.
I monitor my mythbackend to make sure it is up by testing for the 
presence of a single process.

It appears not to be a new daemon process but something related to maybe 
video preview or something. I can't quite recall. You can see the 
argument  list in the output of a ps -ef which gives you a clue as to 
what it is.

I now also check for the presence of the --daemon flag in the arguments 
list of the process and I'm all ok now.
