[mythtv-users] Start Mythfrontend if not running?

I currently have MythTV running on FC3 pretty well now, but every once in a
while I'll come to find that the frontend has crashed back to the desktop.
I'm looking for an easy way to get the frontend running again - either by:
	1 - A process that "pings" to check if the frontend is running every
n interval and starts it automatically
	2 - A remote button (the former is most preferable).

I'm a linux newbie and while I'd know how to do this under Windows, I have
no idea under linux.  Does anyone have any good directions on how to
accomplish this?

Thanks!

Chris
