It must be the time of year :)
I'm installing a full blown Nagios setup for my network but for my myth box I run 'monit'
The config file I use is below (there's a patch accepted by the Debian maintainer to allow 'delayed' startup so it doesn't 'flap' the service - contact me if you like).
Simple Debian/knoppmyth install : apt-get install monit
It monitors processes and restarts them if they fail.
Can be configured to alert you (I like to know if it crashes in case it gets serious!)
It is 'secure'able
Has a web interface to check status and log
Can also monitor anything else (eg listings downloads, disk space etc)
I installed festival to speak the warnings too <grin> It's a shame it's been stable :(
