=== Start the Backend Server ===
When The database fill is complete, the backend will automatically restart.  Check to be sure it is running and that it started correctly:

To check that the backend in now running:
{{{
$ ps -p `cat /var/run/mythtv/mythbackend.pid`
}}}

If you don't see output like:
   {{{
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
30711 ?        00:00:00 mythbackend
}}}

then there was an error.

Next, check the backend log file for obvious errors:
{{{
$ more /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
}}}
