On my new system mythbackend is taking approximately 5 seconds from startup to being ready to accept frontend connections. My frontend autostarts before this and complains that it can't find the backend.
I have a script to start the frontend which includes:
pgrep mythbackend # Tests whether mythbackend process is running.
When this returns true:
sleep 5 # Wait arbitrary amount for mythbackend.
mythfrontend
Clearly, waiting 5 seconds is not a reliable way to make sure ythbackend is ready and also wastes time. What I would like to know, is there some way of telling when mythbackend is ready?
Cheers,
Matthew
