But, /var/log/mythtv is empty.
So, where is the log?
What does your startup script for mythbackend look like? Are you
capturing a log file?
I see what you are getting at. At the moment I just
sudo -HP -u dklock mythbackend &
in my rc.local script, and I could redirect the output to a log file.
Thanks for that suggestion.
You see, I thought it was handled more elegantly than this, because of
the 'log' that the mythfrontend GUI info page can display. Where is
_that_ kept? - in the database? The reason behind my looking for
this file is that from time time it reports "Last message repeated xxx
time" but I can't see what message it means.
The logging information in the status screen is in the database. Any
other logging is done from the startup of the backend. For reference,
my startup script on RH9 looks like:
mythbackend --daemon --logfile /var/log/mythtv/$prog.log --pidfile
/var/run/$prog.pid
I believe the --logfile option will do what you want. Also note that
--verbose controls the amount of information in the log.
