[mythtv] Re: CONTRIB: startup script for mythbackend (Mandrake 9.1 + others?)

[Mike Thomson]

Hi folks

Time to put back a tiny bit! I knocked up the following when I found out
about the -d flag (daemon) on mythbackend. Hopefully others will find it
useful. Perhaps Robert may want to add it into the docs for 0.9?

I've tested this on Mandrake 9.1. Please let me know of problems (with
solutions if you can find one) with other distros / versions.

Three lines may need changed. I don't know of a way to robustly detect the
location of the mythbackend binary, or to decide where the log file should
go. Therefore I stuck 'em in as variables:

    # Name of the mythbackend binary
    PROG="mythbackend"

    # Directory containing the mythbackend binary
    LOCATION="/usr/local/bin"

    # Full path to the mythbackend binary
    LOGFILE="/var/log/mythbackend.log"

The script needs to go in /etc/rc.d/init.d, with ownership root:root and
permissions of 0744.  I configured it similarly to mysql:

root at mythpc # chkconfig --level 35 mythbackend on
root at mythpc # /etc/rc.d/init.d/mythbackend start

Cheers
Mike
