[00:03] Not knowing much about upstart, I was wondering if someone could give me a pointer on how to make it wait a bit longer till my cards (HD-PVR,Pvr150) come on line? I have to kill the backend and it restarts and everything works as always.. [05:17] hi gregL - why not just update /etc/init/mythtv-backend.conf to add a sleep into the pre-start script? [05:18] Or you could be cleverer and try to add a test to make sure your cards are up ....
