[mythtv-users] Automatically restart backend on failure? (Gentoo)

[Dan Wilga]

The problem with cron-based solutions to this problem is the lag 
between the time of the crash and when cron next runs. If MBA had 
been recording when it died, you can miss a big part of the program.

Instead, here's a daemon I wrote to start MBA and monitor how it 
ends. If it ends gracefully (i.e.: it got a TERM signal), then this 
script exits. If not, MBA is immediately relaunched.

The script can be started from /etc/rc.d/rc.local .
