Hi guys,

One of the several (minor) annoyances I've had with my 0.16->0.17 
upgrade is that mythcommflag won't run automatically anymore.  When I 
see the jobqueue status in Mythweb, I see this message on a bunch of 
shows (and the queue keeps on filling up):

   "ERROR: Unable to find mythcommflag"

The punch line?  mythcommflag definitely exists, has 755 permissions and 
*runs fine* when I run it from the command line.  It flags the 
commercials and everything.

I traced the error to some code in libs/libmythtv/jobqueue.cpp, but I 
can't see what that return code would be coming back from a process 
assumedly running as root when it's trying to run a program sitting in 
/usr/local/bin/ with all the other myth executables.

Plus I'm not seeing this problem reported by anyone else.  I know my 
upgrade path may've been a little bit rocky, but I've distcleaned and 
uninstalled a couple of times since then and still this fails.

Any ideas?

Thanks guys,

jl

p.s.  Is there any easy (non-'delete from ...' mysql stuff) way to clean 
out those errors from the jobqueue (or I guess it's just emptying the 
job queue)?
