[mythtv-users] mythbackend.log no longer records output of user scripts under that which will become 0.25. Workaround?

If you are logging to 'mythbackend.log', then you are doing it wrong.  
That is the old system of logging to a single file.  If you do specify a 
'--logfile' on the command line, only that application will be logged to 
it, and any child processes started will not log at all.  Instead, you 
should either be using '--logpath' or '--syslog'.  When specifying a 
path, logs are placed there with in the format <application 
name>.<date>.<pid>.log.

As it stands, the jobqueue only supports passing %VERBOSELEVEL% to user 
jobs.  If desired, it would be fairly trivial to pass on all of the 
logging options in one lump, which would include the contents of 
'--loglevel', '--logpath', '--nodblog', '--quiet', '--syslog', and 
'--verbose'.
