| Post subject: | Frustrated with mythbackend.log owner change seems random... |
I have two r5C7 boxes that show the same issue. My old R5A16 box did it also. After running fine for a while (usually more than a few days) I go to reboot. Sometimes mythbackend starts but gives this error and does not log to mythbackend.log: Executing /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start .. [b]Starting MythTV server: mythbackendcannot open logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log cannot open logfile; using stdout/stderr[/b] It seems to be either myth-backend or some other process under some condition changes the owner of mythbackend.log from mythtv:mythtv to root:mythtv which runs fine until a reboot then the error happens and logging to mythbackend.log stops. I have been liveing with the problem by either deleting mythbackend.log or chowning the log file back to mythtv:mythtv before doing a reboot. I've checked the mythbackend init.d files and the rotatelog scripts and they are using USER=mythtv. When I delete the mythbackend.log file and just start up the mythbackend process it creates the log file properly with mythtv:mythtv ownership. I'm stumped as to what is changing the log file owner. P.S. I have slimserver runing on one of the boxes and the same thing happens to it's slimserver.log file which is also in /var/log/mythtv These were both pristine ground up installs of R5C7 It is a minor irritation but like "jock itch" i'd like to get rid of it. Thanks |

Do this: Code: root@black2:~# ls -ald /var/log/mythtv drwxrwsr-x 2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Sep 7 06:25 /var/log/mythtv If you don't see the 's' in the permissions indicating "set group id" you need to add it: Code: chmod g+s /var/log/mythtv If the group ownership isn't mythtv it needs to be: Code: chown mythtv:mythtv /var/log/mythtv

Did not see any diff from yours : mythtv@telly:/var/log/mythtv$ ls -ald /var/log/mythtv drwxrwsr-x 2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Sep 7 08:15 /var/log/mythtv Tried your code any way. Thanks. |
