It runs the scheduler on restart and after mythfilldatabase runs.  It 
also runs the scheduler in response to a reschedule request (which 
should be made by a frontend after creating a new scheduler).  
Reschedule requests can be made against all schedules or against a 
specific schedule.  The easiest way (from the command-line) to do a 
reschedule is:

mythbackend --resched

Are you sure that's your job.  Shouldn't that be left to the scheduler?
