Description
On every boot I get a message from mythfrontend that a backend is not available. Once I click OK the frontend continues to load and the backend is available. I think this is some kind of race condition where the backend isn't ready for connections when the frontend loads. Maybe some kind of check in LinHES-run that would look to see if the backend is up and pause for a second or two if it isn't.

Adding sleep 9 just before the $STARTCMD line in LinHES-run did not give me the message. Anything less than 9 did give the message that the backend wasn't available so it does appear to be a race condition.

Have you tried editing the number of attempts (and time delay between attempts) for mysql on your FE to connect to your BE? See [[http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=19766|here]].

I had tried Service Menu > MythTV Configuration > Setup > General > 2nd Page. Check "Enable Database Server Wake Up" before and it didn't work. But you got me thinking and in mythtv-setup General > Backend Wakeup Setting page, Master Backend Delay between wake attempts was set to 0 sec and Wake Attempts was 5. I changed Delay between wake attempts to 5 sec and that fixed it.
I am not sure if these were changed in the R5.5 --> R6 upgrade but if they weren't maybe they should be.
