If the backend crashes, the recording would be broken into
multiple parts. Wouldn't it make more sense to follow these
instructions:

http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-20.html#ss20.9

and post to get a solution rather than post to ask for a script
to ignore the problem?

I look forward to reading the contrived counter-arguments ;-).
