[mythtv-users] defunct mythfrontend children processes

[Johnny Walker]

after reading the ticket at http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7135 I
symlinked udevinfo to udevadm in /sbin and the defunct processes have
stopped appearing.

I'm running MythBuntu 9.10 - I'm curious if I was supposed to use a
wrapper script and call 'udevadm info $1' instead though.

The trac ticket says that udevadm is root only on some distros - can't
we just test for that and use udevadm if udevinfo doesn't exist?

I'm not a C programmer - but this is tempting me to learn.
