Have you considered using DJB's daemon tools? I know that DJB tools can be a
pain to get installed if you're not running a source distribution, but if
your distro does have them packaged, they can do this job quite well. I've
been using them with mythtv since the original MMX 3dnoise that made
mythbacked segfault regularly. All you'll need to do is create a file
in /service/mythbackend (or whatever your distro sets up as the service
directory), marked executable, with contents like this:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/mythbackend -l /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
