Bug Description
As far as I can tell, the daily backups are still taking place just fine, but the GUI refuses to show itself, and this started within the last three weeks or so (since that was approximately the last time that I checked into the state of my backups).
Going to a shell to run BIT we get the normal boilerplate as well as the message that the application is already running and providing a PID. Strangely, upon checking with ps, there's no such PID, and there's no 'backtintime' anywhere in the list.
Ubuntu 12.04
