Kill 'mythbackend', and then run 'mythjobqueue'.  Nothing more to it.  
You've already performed all the necessary setup for the slave backend 
you have doing the same task.  It will run indefinitely, processing 
whatever jobs you have it set up to be allowed to, until you manually 
terminate it through the terminal, or your distro's init system.
