[ubuntu-mythtv] fixes updates and bad habits

[Chuck Peters]

I think it has been more than a week since the .24 fixes have been updated.
Is something wrong with the autobuild process?


I noticed something odd. A slave backend which does nothing more than
commercial flagging showed up in the mythweb status as having recordings.
But it appears to have old backup copies of the db.
/var/lib/mythtv/recordings:
total 39392
-rw-r--r-- 1 myth mythtv 13429394 2010-12-08 16:42
mythconverg-1264-20101208164228.sql.gz

-rw-r--r-- 1 myth mythtv 13458426 2010-12-08 17:01
mythconverg-1264-20101208170102.sql.gz

-rw-r--r-- 1 myth mythtv 13384230 2010-12-08 18:21
mythconverg-1264-20101208182050.sql.gz


The times of the above files are right around when I upgraded from .22 to
.23.1 and .24.  The db isn't even on that machine so how did those get
there?


So I decide I'll just shut off the slave backend and look at it more
later...  So I stop the service and add "exit 0" near the top of
/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend.  Yes it is a bad habit to edit start up scripts
that way, but it worked for me, at least until now...  exit 0 should stop it
from starting...  But no it starts right up.
# service mythtv-backend start
mythtv-backend start/running, process 16661

It shouldn't do that.  What the ???


Thanks,
Chuck
