ES:
Your words seem very straight forward, but I'm still not following several things...
[1] How do I _JUST_ get the BackEnd started?
The only times I've ever before been able to start it is when exiting the BackEnd Setup program, and it asks me if I want to start the Backend (duh, yea!)
[2] Are you referring to some program in particular, like the old X-window thing I heard of years ago, or when you say "X", are you using it as a generic variable?
[3] How do I... "see it in the process list" ???
Do I use verbatim the first line that you quoted:
" mythtered% ps uax | grep backend " ???
