Rather than try to find the best sleep value, I added this bit of code before mythbackend actually starts: #Wait for mysql to start, up to 60 seconds for i in {1..60} do if mysql -u mythtv -pPassword </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then break fi sleep 1s; done So it checks once a second to see if it can connect, 60 times. It will wait up to a minute, then continue anyway -- and mythbackend will fail, but if it isn't up after a minute something is wrong. ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- ch...@westnet.com -- (914) 948-3162 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/ _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list atrpms-users@atrpms.net http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
