[mythtvnz] is there any way to check mythfrontend hasn't hung?

[Jason Haar]

I'm running "minimyth" - a PXE-booted MythtTV frontend on a small
VIA-based box under my TV.

It's not 100% reliable. Some times it hangs when fast forwarding/etc and
basically I have to reboot it.

What I'd rather do is have some daemon polling mythfrontend checking its
working (a "myth-ping" if you like) and forcibly restarting all the bits
that need restarting if an error occurs.

Does mythfrontend have such a feature, or have others already come up
with recovery mechanisms?

Thanks

Jason
