DESCRIPTION

       mythbackend version: fixes/31 [v31.0-v31.0] www.mythtv.org

       MythBackend  is  the primary server application for MythTV. It is used for recording and remote streaming
       access of media. Only one instance of this application is allowed to run on one host at a time,  and  one
       must be configured to operate as a master, performing additional scheduler and housekeeper tasks.

       Misc.  Options:  -d  OR  --daemon               Fork application into background after startup.  --noupnp
       Disable use of UPnP.  -O OR --override-setting    Override a single setting defined by a key=value

              pair.

       --override-settings-file    Define a file of key=value pairs to be loaded for

              setting overrides.

       -p OR --pidfile             Write PID of  application  to  filename.   --printexpire                Print
       upcoming  list of recordings to be expired.  --printsched                Print upcoming list of scheduled
       recordings.  --setloglevel               Change logging level of the existing master

              backend.

       --setverbose                Change debug mask of the existing master backend.  -h OR  --help  OR  --usage
       Display this help printout, or give detailed

              information of selected option.

       --version                    Display  version information.  --testsched                 do some scheduler
       testing.  --user                      Drop permissions to username after starting.

       Logging Options: --enable-dblog              Enable logging to database.  --loglevel                  Set
       the logging level.  All log messages at lower

       levels will be discarded.
              In descending order: emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, debug defaults to info

       --logpath                   Writes logging messages to a file in the directory

       logpath with filenames in the format:
              applicationName.date.pid.log.  This is typically used in combination with --daemon, and if used in
              combination with --pidfile, this can be used with log rotators,  using  the  HUP  call  to  inform
              MythTV to reload the file

       -q OR --quiet               Don't log to the console (-q).  Don't log anywhere

              (-q -q)

       --syslog                    Set the syslog logging facility.

              Set to "none" to disable, defaults to none.

       --systemd-journal            Use  systemd-journal instead of syslog.  -v OR --verbose             Specify
       log filtering. Use '-v help' for level

              info.
