Make a cron job that purges the myth log directory and drop it in .daily if you don't have enough time to properly fix the problem now (or the next few months).<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 7:57 AM, Mike Holden <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mythtv@mikeholden.org">mythtv@mikeholden.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Nobody here is judging your level of Unix/Linuix knowledge - we were all<br>
beginners once :-)<br>

</div>If the problem is a simple mis-configuration of how the programs start, it<br>
could take just a couple of minutes to fix, which is less time than it has<br>
taken to type out an email (actually several emails now) saying you don't<br>
have time to fix it. :-)<br>
<br>
Some of the commands you have been using are looking at the configuration<br>
files that control how the myth programs start up. If there is a problem<br>
with the configuration then that configuration file is the place to fix<br>
it. Until you know what the problem is though, you don't know for certain<br>
how to fix it.<br>
<br>
Honestly though, if you are going to ignore the well-meaning and helpful<br>
advice you have received from several people trying to help you, on the<br>
basis that YOU are too busy, do you really expect much help next time?<br>
<br>
Short term, you could always delete the older log files!<br>
