I think that's the first time my subject pretty much summed up my<br>
whole issue. :-)<br>
<br>
Mythbuntu's kill/restart irexec command kills but no longer restarts<br>
until pressed again.<br>
<br>
That is, the power/clear combo that kills mythfrontend and restarts<br>
it, now just kills it. If I hit the combo again, it finally restarts.<br>
<br>
The command hasn't changed. Any idea why it would take two usages now<br>
instead of one?<br>
<br>
Here's the command that's sent:<br>
<br>
(kill $(pgrep mythfrontend) || true) && mythfrontend --service &<br>
<br>

It could well be a race condition...<br>
<br>
My guess is that on the first press, it sends the kill signal to mythfrontend, but then when it tries to start it again, the old instance hasn't finished exiting causing the new instance to fail to start (ports already in use etc...). On the second call, it will start successfully because by then the old instance has exited.<br>
<br>
You could test this by adding a sleep in between the 2 commands.<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
