This is what I use. It restarts myth if it crashes, but not if you exit
it normally. Modify to fit your environment.
#!/bin/sh
export DISPLAY=":0.1"
xset -display :0.1 -dpms
xset -display :0.1 s off
until [ "$?" == "1" ]; do
/opt/MythTV/bin/mythfrontend > /tmp/mythfrontend.log 2>&1
done
>When I had problems with the frontend crashing, I just ran it like so:

>while echo Restarted; do mythfrontend; done

>This will just run mythfrontend in a loop forever. Problem is that you

>process, but I was running a dedicated box, so I saw no need for closing
>mythfrontend.
