---------- Missatge reenviat ---------- From: Mike H <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Date: Fri, 18 May 2007 14:58:46 +0100 Subject: Re: [linux-dvb] Re: nova-t 500 progress? Hi,I was the one that posted I had the script, sorry for the delay posting it here. There was another suggestion on the list about setting up a cronjob that ran every minute that scanned the output of "tail /var/log/messages" for errors and restarted mythtv-backend if there were any, but this had the effect of restarting mythtv-backend every minute for as long as there were any errors in the last 8 lines of /var/log/messages - not a good situation if you're recording something and your event log isnt too busy! This is the python script I wrote : ------------------------------ #!/usr/bin/python import os import popen2 r, w, e = popen2.popen3('tail -f /var/log/messages') line = r.readline().strip() while line != '': if 'mt2060 I2C read failed' in line: os.system('/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart') line = r.readline().strip() r.close() e.close() w.close() ------------------------------ you just need to start it as a background process when you boot. I had my mythtv box running for two weeks solid and with this script running I had no problems watching or recording anything. Hope it helps other nova-t 500 users!
