Hi Christian,
I noticed '/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart' is unreliable.
This is due to the 'sleep 3' solution between stop/start via
start-stop-daemon; this is not sufficient for my setup, so in most
cases, myth is just stopped on restart as the second start-stop call
still finds a valid pid.
start-stop's "-retry" should imho fix this quite elegantly, see
attachment.
Thanks!
Stephan
