Yes, the initscript naturally running as root after (or before) the backend
starts, that's the goal.
But how do I do it?
Elsewhere somebody suggested to add the instances included in the script to
the mythbackend startup script in /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend or
/etc/init/mythbackend.conf. Is that what you mean?
Use the right tools for the right job. Having the backend run a script

I know, that's why I was asking!
Also, I'll give the rc.local approach suggested by Phill a try.
Thanks
