If someone needs it here is the part I've customized in my monitrc file
under /etc/monit/<br>
<br>
<pre>check process mythbackend with pidfile /var/run/mythtv/mythbackend.pid</pre>
<pre> start program = "/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart"</pre>
<pre> stop program = "/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop"</pre>
<pre> if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout</pre>
<br>
So far it works like a charm.<br>
<br>
I've also customized the mail alert, of course.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Paolo<br>

<pre wrap=""><!---->You say you added this?
Are you using /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend because that usually specifies the user
that myth runs as.
Post your monitrc please.

<pre wrap=""><!---->I would restore that to the original state.
I think your problem is that monit should run the starup script as root so the
startup script can change to the myth user.
You made monit run the script as a user but without proper initialisation (ie
setting paths etc).
Before you changed it did /etc/rc.d/init.d/mythbackend work?
