You shouldn't be modifying anything in init.d. Put
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
in /etc/conf.d/mythbackend.

Re: [mythtv-users] Unable to find mythcommflag in 0.17
One of the several (minor) annoyances I've had with my 0.16-0.17 upgrade is that mythcommflag won't run automatically anymore. When I It does run automatically, if things are properly configured. ERROR: Unable to find mythcommflag This error message means mythbackend can't find mythcommflag, so even though mythcommflag is in _your_ PATH, it evidently isn't in the PATH of the user running mythbackend or the script that is running mythbackend. Search for this error message on the mailing lists and you'll find several solutions. I traced the error to some code in libs/libmythtv/jobqueue.cpp, but I can't see what that return code would be coming back from a process assumedly running as root when it's trying to run a program sitting in /usr/local/bin/ with all the other myth executables. This has been explained quite a few times on the mailing lists, so I'll let you read the explanations when you search for the error message above. Plus I'm not seeing this problem reported by anyone else. I know my It was, quite a few times. :) Previously, the mythcommflag executable did not actually get called by mythbackend, mythbackend directly ran the commercial flagging code internally. This had the negative side-effect that if there were any problems in commercial flagging that might cause a segfault, etc. whether the issue was in the flagger, player, etc., then the backend would go down. In order to isolate the flagger from mythbackend, after the JobQueue was created, I modified the JobQueue to call out to mythcommflag rather than running the flagger code inside mythbackend. p.s. Is there any easy (non-'delete from ...' mysql stuff) way to clean out those errors from the jobqueue (or I guess it's just emptying the job queue)? You can either manually delete them or you can take the ?easy? way out and go into the JobQueue page in mythfrontend's status screen and delete them from there. Select the item to delete and pick Delete from the popup menu. -- Chris ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Try echoing the path when the backend starts up. I thought I read some posts in the past that the backend user environment might not get fully populated when the backend starts up.
