Thanks for the information.Unfortunately this is beyond my skills to know  
exactly what
to do with it.
Here are the contents of my mythtv-backend.conf :

# MythTV Backend service

description     "MythTV Backend"
author          "Mario Limonciello <superm1 at ubuntu.com>"

start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=lo and started  
udev-finish)
stop on runlevel [016]

#expect fork
respawn
respawn limit 2 3600

pre-start script
     [ -x /usr/sbin/mysqld ] || exit 0
     for i in `seq 1 30` ; do
        /usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf ping &&  
exit 0
        sleep .5
     done
end script

script
	test -f /etc/default/locale && . /etc/default/locale || true
	LANG=$LANG /usr/bin/mythbackend --syslog local7 --user mythtv
end script





Do I use the entire text from the page you linked to,or do I need to add  
some thing to mine.

Cheers
