Hi,
I get occasional backend crashes - usually seems to be some qt/sql problem. Very difficult to eliminate entirely.
Usually, the whole machine doesn't crash, just the backend and/or mysql.
Question is, would it be feasible to run a cron script to monitor the backend status, either on the same box or from some other linux box, then reboot the machine or restart services if a problem is detected.
OK, its not pretty, but it might just stop a missed recording!
My understanding of scripting is close to zero, so any any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Yes, it isn't to hard to do what you're trying, but have you tried instead to get a backtrace of the problem to find the source of the issue? The mythtv.org docs describe how to compile a debug version of mythtv for tracing problems like this.

It hasn't affected me enough to get that far into it. I may get into compiling if the release/branch stuff gets rolling (see myth-dev list for more info that) but for now I'm on pretty much stock .17.
