'killall mythfrontend' is what a majority of the 'Power Button'
scripts I've seen use to restart the frontend process after a crash.
You *may* also want to 'killall mythlcdserver' - this process is
started when mythfrontend runs, but does not terminate either when
gracefully exiting the frontend or forcing a kill.
