Comment (by georgep56):

 I've just come across this issue again with my install of 29.1-fixes on
 Lubuntu 16.10.

 I had previously edited mythtv-setup with the suggested

 ''RUNNING=$(ps -A | grep mythbackend)''

 which worked perfectly for me.

 The latest 29.1-fixes update has replaced this with another suggested
 "fix" mentioned above

 ''RUNNING=$(status mythtv-backend | grep running)''

 This raised 2 further issues:
 The binary "status" was not present on my system. I found that it was part
 of the "upstart" package which was not installed. I installed the upstart
 package but this then revealed a further issue -

 ''george at tvbox:$ status mythtv-backend
 status: Name "com.ubuntu.Upstart" does not exist''

 For now I have implemented the 'pgrep' solution above (which is now
 targeted on 29.2 I believe) and would like to request that this be
 implemented on 29.1-fixes as soon as is convenient.
