Both the Myth_Stop_Start helper and 'port load mythtv-core.27' are shortcuts to the 'sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.mythtv.mythbackend.plist'. The plist, by itself, doesn't do anything.

It did when I installed it around the time you first announced the port. RunAtLoad false would work for me but probably not everyone else so no reason to change. I can edit the config to not run at load but macports will reset that on each update. I have a similar problem with nginx where I want the launchd to use my parameters but macports would keep overwriting my changes.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Anyway the news about local portfiles is great, I'll have a go sometime in the next few months.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">- George</div></body></html>
