Sorry to bring up the topic again.  I saw the other thread title and 
thought it was about mythfilldatabase not running at all.

ps ax|grep mythbackend|grep -v grep returns:
18308 ?        Ssl    0:01 /usr/bin/mythbackend --syslog local7 --user 
mythtv --daemon
so it is not being started with --quiet.

I'll try adding  --logpath to the command line.
Thanks Bill.
