Hi;

Run this with the FE running and not running. If the output
matches what you expect, replace the echos with your restart
and start-up commands.

#!/bin/sh

pgrep mythfrontend.real 2>&1 > /dev/null

if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
     echo "Already running, put restart command here."
else
     echo "Not running, put your start-up command here"
fi
