What are people doing about restarting mythbackend when it fails? There are a number of scripts on https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Status_Monitoring_How_To but what's the crowd favourite? That could relieve a few problems and would be handy in any event. Has anyone done anything with systemd for this? Looks like systemd has mechanisms for it. My /usr/lib/systemd/system/mythbackend.service has

# Whether systemd will continue over-watch and restart on any halt
#Restart=always

Does this work?
