Only one instance of mythbackend running. No script in /etc/init.d as
f17 uses systemd. Started by
which contains the following section
# Uncomment one of the following...
# Use sysloging rather than separate logging:
#ExecStart=/usr/bin/mythbackend --syslog local7
# If Type=forking is set you must specify the --daemon and --pidfile
#ExecStart=/usr/bin/mythbackend --daemon --logpath /var/log/mythtv
--loglevel crit --pidfile /run/mythbackend.pid
# Default setting for Type=simple.
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mythbackend --logpath /var/log/mythtv
As the ps output revealed, it is being started WITHOUT --syslog.
Anyone know of a build option that can cause this? I've downloaded and
installed the source and will see if I can figure it out.
