It is launched by a mythbackend process.  That is the easy answer.  In a
standard backend/frontend split configuration, this will be your backend.

However, there is nothing to stop you from running the mythbackend process
(as a slave backend) on other machines, including your frontend and then
configuring each backend to run various jobs using mythtv-setup.

Also, there is a mythjobqueue standalone program that can be run on any
machine specifically to allow for spawning jobs like these on other
computers.
