[mythtv-users] mythbackend crashing

[Fa Yoeu]

Mine crashes so often that I have a cron job running to restart the
backend if it crashes.  Here's the script:

#!/bin/bash -x
# This script will monitor processes and restart it if it dies.

PROCESS="mythbackend"
LOCKFILE="/tmp/lock_$PROCESS"

lockfile -l 300 -r 0 $LOCKFILE
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
     echo Lock exists
     exit 1
fi

SUBSYS_LOCKFILE="/var/lock/subsys/mythbackend"
ps auxwwww |grep -v grep |grep $PROCESS
FLAG_RUNNING=$?
if [ -f $SUBSYS_LOCKFILE ] && [ $FLAG_RUNNING -eq 1 ]; then
        echo Myth Is DEAD
        rm -f $SUBSYS_LOCKFILE
        /etc/init.d/mythbackend start
fi
rm -f $LOCKFILE

exit 0
