Brian:

Fortunately the upstart syntax is simply sh.  You should be able to
easily modify it to add stuff like that.

Where are the defaults for the system wide proxy stored?  We could
always source that file in the upstart job too.

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Incomplete

Bug description:
Since converting to an upstart job, the mythtv-backend start job is unable to specify environment variables to be set in the mythtv-backend process.  The example on hand is proxy setting variables.  My backend has to use a proxy in order to use the Internet and now there is no way to tell it short of hacking the upstart job itself, assuming I even understood it's syntax.
