This update also re-orders the user-configurable variables consistently between the two files.

Resolution: fixed
Status: closedreopened

An update to the Fedora init script and config file which:

  • removes the MYTHTV_HOME variable and runtime checking for its existence


  • adds a further warning about running the backend as non-root


  • some tidying up and re-ordering of variables for consistency


  • hardcodes the pidfile name into the script to allow external script to reference the pidfile

When daemon --user is used to start mythbackend, it calls runuser which in turn starts mythbackend with a login shell. This should ensure that $HOME is correctly defined for the mythbackend user and no extraneous files should be created in /.
