I have a process that watches the backend via this script #!/bin/sh logger Starting mythbackend as daemon process... echo "Backend is running" > /myth/backend.flag mythbackend --logfile /var/log/mythbackend.log logger "Mythbackend process has died - removing flag and sleep before restart." rm -f /myth/backend.flag sleep 1m When starting up, it creates the file backend.flag, if it crashes, it removes that flag. On the xBox, I have a cron job that checks for the existence of that flag (via a NFS share), if it's not there, it assumes the backend has crashed, and reboots itself. HTH.
