/etc/conf.d/mythbackend defines 3 variables, MYTH_USER, MYTH_NICE, and MYTH_VERBOSE, but only one of these variables is actually used in the rc-script.
Created attachment 85576 [details, diff] Proposed fix Default to the current values, but pay attention to the values provided in /etc/conf.d/mythbackend, if given.
Check /etc/conf.d/mythbackend. It does not define those variables anymore. You either failed to run etc-update or ignored the changes. These variables are no longer supported or used.
