[mythtv-users] Querrying Recording Status

[Michael Starks]

I have found that Myth/IVTV benefit from a frequent reboot.  Otherwise, 
weird things begin to happen.  This is more of an ivtv problem but it 
seems clear that a nightly reboot scheduled via cron would help.  So, 
the question is.. how can I query Myth to see if it is currently 
recording something?  I know MythWeb does it so it is possible. 
Finally, does it return an exit code that I can act on in a shell script 
or maybe I can just look for a string, such that if it is not recording 
then reboot but if it is, don't.
