Hi.<br><br>Sometimes my Mythbackend hangs and I need to restart it to use MythTV.<br>I wrote a thread about my problem but I haven't solved it yet.<br>Is there any way to create a new button in mythfrontend that allows me
<br>to restart the backend with a ssh command?<br><br>Thank you very much!<br>Bye.</blockquote><div><br>I tried doing this exact same thing a while ago. I was going on a five week business trip and I wanted an easy way for users to restart the mythbackend process from the frontend computer (seperate back & frontends). But I couldn't figure out a secure way to run a script as root through ssh and I gave up. Both my back and frontends run ubuntu so there is no dedicated root account. It would probably be easier if you have a dedicated root account.
