Stuart,

Would a possible solution be to use a configuration-specific runtime
option for MBE:

$ mythbackend --configure

to start MBE with the minimum necessary services started to permit
configuration?

Once configuration is complete, the script/calling application can
then trigger a normal MBE restart to fire up the backend with all
services running.

If the above represents a possible solution, what services would be
required to be running in addition to a connection to the database?

Cheers,
Nick
