Hi, i’m just trying to do a basic task in getting a mythbackend working on SuSE. Arch Linux seemed to handle this no problems so i suspected that SuSE would be easier.
seems like there’s an issue with my init scripts
# /etc/init.d/mythbackend start
/etc/sysconfig/mythbackend not existing
this process has no issues running as a daemon with the given switch, so it’s clearly a problem of SuSE

If you do not need to source the init script you can also comment out the
line doing so which came with the /etc/skel command.
Good luck.

Nope, as you found out, the init script was simply doing what it was programmed to do, look for a config file in sysconfig. You could have found this out by reading the init script, it probably had something like:
if ! -r $CONFIG ]
then
echo $CONFIG not existing
fi
Look for the problem locally before you widen the blame.
