If all you care is being able to restart myth with a remote, you can
do it by launching irexec (from the same startup script you use to
lunch mythfrontend) and adding a line for it in .lircrc.

Even if you disable exit, there is still a chance that frontend will crash.

Another option is to run mythfrontend from a script which does while
[1] loop and keep starting it up every time it exits or crashes. Of
course, then you won't be able to exit it, but you were ready to live
with that.
