[mythtv-users] Is "killall mythfrontend" safe?

[Jon Boehm]

How would the problem manifest? I'm be doing dual screen thing for two days
and have not noticed any problem.  I'm not using opengl for the paint
engine.  I like the snap of the basic engine.  I'm not into waiting for
fades.

The reason I even asked the question in the first place was I was worried
about data corruption of orphaned memory that might be caused by a kill.

Running killall mythfrontend is safe, you don't need to worry about
that. What is your solution to getting the video overlay available on
the second screen?
