Mythfrontend doesn't need X, it isn't killed when X is killed.
Maybe it should monitor the X server if it was started with one.
And automatically quit if X is killed. <br>

Finally got around to trying this.<br>
<br>
-From a reboot, here's the output of "sudo ps -ef | grep
mythfrontend"<br>
<br>
don@nick:~$ sudo ps -ef | grep mythfrontend<br>
don 2270 1 0 14:04 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh
/usr/bin/mythfrontend --service<br>
don 2635 2270 3 14:04 ? 00:00:06
/usr/bin/mythfrontend.real --syslog local7<br>
don 3000 2892 0 14:07 pts/2 00:00:00 grep --color=auto
mythfrontend<br>
don@nick:~$<br>
<br>

<br>
-I reproduced failure (tune channel, change channel, kill X, screen
black, but audio not playing this time)<br>
-Logged into X<br>
-Run "sudo ps -ef | grep mythfrontend"; here's the output<br>
<br>
don@nick:~$ sudo ps -ef | grep mythfrontend<br>
