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.





look into daemontools

apt-get install daemontools-installer

#include <djb-disclaimer.h>

You've been warned :) but it works ...


your /service/mythbackend/run will look like ---%<--- #!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/mythbackend --logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
---%<---

the supervise daemon will watch and make sure that mythbackend is
running, and restart it if it crashes.

Geez, that's even better than what I use...cool...
