[mythtv-users] E-mail notices on HDPVR crap-out?

[steve]

Greetings.  I've got my MythTV set up with a Hauppauge HDPVR.  It
periodically craps-out and needs to be restarted.  Yesterday I missed some
recordings I really wanted before I discovered it had crashed.   So I'm
wondering if there's any way to notify myself when this happens.  I'm pretty
sure there's nothing built in to MythTV for this purpose, so I'm wondering
if I might be able to write an external app to check it periodically--or to
check with MythTV--to see if it's operational and, say, send myself an email
if it's not.  Any ideas appreciated.  

 

Thx,

 

Steve
