[mythtvnz] MythTV Status in your MOTD (and email) - Version 0.7.0

[Andrew Ruthven]

Hmmm, that is a bit odd.  And it looks like you're running version
0.7.1.  Do you have the perl API installed?  Can you
read /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt?  Can you connect to the MySQL database using
the credentials in mysql.txt?

Cheers!
