User double-click.  Myth_Frontend.app, for example, simply launches 
/opt/local/bin/mythfrontend with appropriate parameters for loglevel, 
verbosity and logpath.  Plus, the applet icon can be dragged onto the 
Dock one-click access.

Myth_Filldatabase.app and Myth_Setup.app are similar but only used 
infrequently; often just when Myth is initially installed.

All of these things can still be done from Terminal--the scripts just 
simplify and standardize normal operation.  There are a bunch of 
other executables that can be run from the command line (like 
mythcommflag to identify commercial breaks in recorded TV; or 
mythtranscode to re-encode from one AV format to another; etc) but, 
in practice, are very seldom used.  Usually they are automatically 
initiated by mythbackend or by user selection within mythfrontend.

Myth_Frontend_Logging.app is a bit different.  It changes the logging 
parameters stored in the Myth_Frontend.app.  If a user is 
experiencing a problem, one of the developers may ask them to enable 
detailed logging in a particular area of the program AND increase the 
verbosity to 'debug'.  This script is supposed to make that easier.
