Description:
When mythbackend starts up its process ID is not captured in '/var/run/mythbackend.pid'

Detected in:
mythtv 0.20.2.20070828-2

Reason:
Process ID is not available when '/bin/pidof' is called in '/etc/rc.d/mythbackend'

Solution:
This can be fixed by asking mythbackend to create the PID file, see below for an example:

--- /etc/rc.d/mythbackend.orig 2007-12-30 19:22:26.000000000 +0000
+++ /etc/rc.d/mythbackend 2007-12-30 19:51:39.000000000 +0000
