Knoppmyth R5E50 Backend won’t start after reboot

I have been running into a problem for a little while and I could not figure it out (not that I expected to figure it out on my own but I thought I could search for it). What happens is if you force the computer to shutdown (hold the power button) of if the video has an error while displaying and you reboot, your mythtv-backend will not restart after rebooting. Well thanks to the knowledgable users of Knoppmyth there is a fix in the forums.

You need to be root and you edit the following things.

edit \etc\init.d\mythtv-backend and change
start)
to
startold)

and
restart|force-reload)
to
start|restart|force-reload)

You will get a little warning from it on startup because you will now be doing the restart code on startup.

That is all I have done and so far it looks like it worked. I will update this if I have something break because of this fix.
