So, I was just upgrading my BE to v0.25-beta-99-gff73126 and it
wouldn't start via upstart (i.e. service mythtv-backend start), so I
tried starting it at a prompt:

# su - mythtv -c "mythbackend"

Warning: MythTV wants to upgrade your database,
for the TV schema, from 1296 to 1299.

Database Host: localhost
Database Name: mythconverg

If your system becomes unstable, a database backup is located in /video/mythtv/mythconverg-1296-20120313092008.sql.gz


Shall I upgrade this database? [yes]  2012-03-13 09:22:32.910503 C  Backed up database to file: '/video/mythtv/mythconverg-1296-20120313092008.sql.gz'

An interactive prompt?  Huh?  So I hit RETURN and:


There are also other clients using this database. They should be shut down first.

So yeah, it was an interactive prompt in the backend (read: daemon)
startup.  Deamon's by their very nature are not supposed to expoect
to have a tty and therefore be allowed to interact.
