The last bit of the log is

Apr 25 10:15:17 oz mythlogserver[3793]: I LogForward
loggingserver.cpp:1204 (expireClients) Expiring client
00f36bdcdf846e4b30ba17e3767f0851ab (#1)
Apr 25 10:15:17 oz mythlogserver[3793]: I LogForward
loggingserver.cpp:1234 (expireClients) Starting 5min shutdown timer
Apr 25 10:20:17 oz mythlogserver[3793]: I LogForward
loggingserver.cpp:1187 (shutdownTimerExpired) Shutting down because of
idleness

It looks like mythlogserver is shutting itself down when I exit the
frontend, rather than aborting.

I can attach the full logs if it will help.
