Comment (by pbennett):

 The ping in the database connect startup has been causing some people
 problems lately, and I think I can improve startup by checking if the
 database port is open instead of using ping. That way it waits for not
 only the database machine to start up but for the database port to be
 ready. Also people could use the "wake up" code to start the database
 instead of waking the machine (if somebody for some reason wanted the
 database shutdown when MythTV was not in use).

 I have been doing this (using nc) in a bash script in front of Frontend
 startup for a couple of years with no problems.
