Also see if the user running the program has write permission there:
ls -ld /var/log/mythtv
You might find the directory is now owned by: syslog:adm too.
mythbackend --setverbose system,idle will add more logging.
Then check /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log.

<pre wrap="">It occurs to me that there is nothing in the recording que, nothing I have scheduled to record appears in the schedule for the
two weeks of schedule that schedules direct provides.
Does mythTV still run the setwakeup.sh script if it knows of nothing to record?
This would seem like a bug to me, it should at least wakeup and download a new schedule to see if anything it needs to record
showed up.
If this is indeed the problem, should I set a wakeup time in the checklogin.sh script (one that would get overwritten by the
setwakeup.sh script if it is run?
I'm going to schedule something that will record in the next few days, and see if that makes a difference.

I can confirm that this was the problem.<br>
Once something showed up in the upcoming schedule, MythTV began
calling the setwakup.sh script, and log items from setwakup.sh
showed up in my log file.<br>
This is a bug. Even if MythTV finds nothing to record, it should set
a wakeup time before its schedule runs out so in can update its
schedule.<br>
As it now stands, if mythTV ever shuts down without having anything
in its schedule to record, it will never wake up on its own, and
could miss future recordings.<br>
