[mythtv-users] CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE -> multiple instances of mythfrontend

[Doug Lytle]

I find it easier to use pidof

I'm using bash:

if [ ! "$(pidof mythfrontend)" ]                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
then                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
        echo "Mythfrontend is not started. Starting Mythfrontend..."
