<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Hey, all. Over the past week, I've noticed my backend stops working every morning at 2am local time (0700 UTC). The symptoms are that I get emails from my every-10-minutes cron job that runs /usr/sbin/mythtv-update-motd . The emails repeat for roughly 2-3 hours, give or take, and say "Our child has stopped talking to us, kill it off. Unknown error during retrieval of status from the MythTV backend." During that time, recordings also silently fail.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">The problem is that I can't figure out what's causing this at all. I don't seem to have any cron jobs or systemd timers that run daily at 2am. I can't find anything unusual in the mythtv-backend systemd journal or in any of the /var/log/mythtv/*.log files, and in fact, the evidence is that the backend process/service is still running. Things that appear in the logs every 15 minutes or so continue to appear during the time period when the cron emails are going out and recordings aren't working, and systemd reports that the service has been running since before last night's gap.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Can you help me figure out what's causing this, or at least help me figure out where to look for information or how to increase logging appropriately? My usual sysadmin log-reading skills are failing me here...</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Thanks!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Josh</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br>
