Not as simple as 'kill' I'm afraid.  I think it could be done in about 15-20
lines of code in programs/mythbackend/main.cpp though.

/me goes off and codes for a few minutes, then commits....

SVN trunk (not where your RPMS come from) now has the ability to
pass a --clearcache command line argument to mythbackend to clear
the settings cache on all connected programs.  Doesn't benefit you
much right now since you use RPMS, but whenever 0.21 hits the
streets you'll be able to take advantage of it.  For not it just
benefits me in development and others using trunk. :)

Looks like it was 21 lines counting the --help text description change.
Should have left that out and I could have come in right at my estimate. :)
