stopping mythtv backend autostart

[enchesss]

Is there a safe way to stop the backend from starting up on log in?

Would it be ok to delete the

/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend file?

or is there a setting so that it is easy to start again later?

Instead of deleting, you can either move or rename it..

Moving
sudo mv /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend /home/username/mythtv-backend

Replace 'username' with the appropriate folder name is under /home

Renaming
sudo mv /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend.old

I hope this helps; however, I think there is probably a better way...I just don't know what it is at the moment.

Hi,

Why not just delete the symbolic link in /etc/rc2.d.

You can still manually start myth backend.

sudo apt-get install rcconf

sudo apt-get install rcconf

Just to clarify the above post.

After installing rcconf, start it in terminal sith sudo rcconf
Use the arrow keys to scroll down to Mythbackend and use the space bare to de-select it. Tab and enter to quit.

Restart the backend with. sudo mythbackend
