MythBackend service not starting

Authors

/var/log/messages complains :

bash
Nov 24 23:52:54 myth systemd[1]: mythbackend.service: control process exited, code=exited status=235
Nov 24 23:52:54 myth systemd[1]: Unit mythbackend.service entered failed state.

Simple solution (not tested whether this survives reboot) :

bash
# touch /var/run/mythbackend.pid; chown mythtv:mythtv /var/run/mythbackend.pid
# systemctl start mythbackend.service
# grep mythbackend
