It is possible to get a script to run when a network connection comes
up - see /etc/network/if.up.  The system uses this, but it is possible
to add your own scripts also.  I presume an RPi also works this way -
it is a Debian and Debian based thing.  So you could have
mythfilldatabase run when a network connection comes up the first time
each day after the time it would normally be run.
