It's checking the start and stop commands used by the backend. I just used
curl to avoid going into mythtv-setup. Looking for the start and stop
commands in the DB.

This is what I get when running

I think Steven answered the question, but in the above, the start command above
would literally execute mythbackend and that would be done "outside" of systemd,
which is a bad thing. When I run the real mythtv-setup (not the shell script, as
I don't use Mythbuntu) it does stop the backend.

So, as before, {"String": "sudo \/bin\/systemctl start mythtv-backend.service"}
is what I have (and it works.) The backslashes aren't really in the DB.
Of course ... systemctl stop ... for BackendStopCommand.
