[mythtv-users] Different mythfilldatabase commands for different sources

What actually happens when you let mythfilldatabase handle it is that
it runs the grabber with the options:
`--quiet --config-file <home>/.mythtv/<source-name>.conf --output /tmp/<some-tmp-name>`

and then runs itself with:
` --file --xmlfile /tmp/<some-tmp-name> --sourceid <the-source-id>`

What I do is run those two commands in a script through cron, but then
with my config name.
