When I had problems with the frontend crashing, I just ran it like so: while echo Restarted; do mythfrontend; done
This will just run mythfrontend in a loop forever. Problem is that you can't exit it without launching a second terminal and killing the process, but I was running a dedicated box, so I saw no need for closing mythfrontend. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Lynch > Sent: Friday, 17 December 2004 2:51 PM > To: 'Discussion about mythtv' > Subject: [mythtv-users] Start Mythfrontend if not running? > > I currently have MythTV running on FC3 pretty well now, but > every once in a while I'll come to find that the frontend has > crashed back to the desktop. > I'm looking for an easy way to get the frontend running again > - either by: > 1 - A process that "pings" to check if the frontend is > running every n interval and starts it automatically > 2 - A remote button (the former is most preferable). > > I'm a linux newbie and while I'd know how to do this under > Windows, I have no idea under linux.
