In knoppmyth what is the procedue used to start x, and from x to mythfrontend?

I am looking for the script to run or restart from an ssh session to restart X. Sometimes myth crashes back to the splash screen and I cannot figure the correct way to get the whole thing running again.

X is started from inittab.

If you edit /etc/inittab

and and change your default runlevel to 3 X won't start automaticly.

mythfrontend is started from KnoppMyth-run which is called from

~mythtv/.fluxbox/apps

to restart X run "startx" -- to startx and mythfrontend from an a remote ssh session do
export DISPLAY=:0.0; startx; mythfrontend

If your just dropping out to the splash screen, all you need to do is restart the frontend.
do you know why frontend is crashing?

Thanks for the help. I have it figured it out - I was confused a bit between X background after frontend crashed (or exited) and the bootsplash screen.

Anyway I think I will look at one of those automotic restart scripts for mythfrontend. I dunno why it crashed, I was watching an avi with the Internal player, I have had problems with avis from the same series of dowloads.

Cheers.
