[gentoo-user] mythtv backend problem...

[Jerry McBride <mcbrides9@comcast.net>]

I'm having a real odd problem running the backend server for MYTHTV...

The short story is, I can't startup the backend server via the startup script 
at /etc/init.d/mythbackend... start does not work. It claims it starts but it 
doesn't, no errors, nothing at all in dmesg or messages and worse than that, 
the backend server doesn't run long enough to log anything 
to /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log!

Now the kicker... if I execute /usr/bin/mythbackend  directly from a console, 
it runs perfectly... and for the time being that's how I'm running it... I've 
a fully functional mythtv setup, I just can't start the backend server from 
the init script.

I've tried loading all kinds of einfo's to the startup script to help trace 
actions in the script... it all looks like the server should be loading. I 
even added strace to the script and the output looks just peachy... but it 
won't start from the script.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, in advance,
                                      Jerry....
