Nah, I'm a dumbass too... just an inventive one :)
 
FYI, my script is as follows;
 
[root at mythtv bin]# vi checkbackend.sh
PROG=mythbackend
STATUS=`ps -e |grep $PROG |grep -v grep | wc -l | awk '{print $1}'`
if [ $STATUS -eq 0 ]
then
        ( /sbin/service $PROG start )
        `date >> /var/log/mythtv/restartlog.log`
fi
exit 0
 
It's in /usr/local/bin and is scheduled in CRON to run every minute. Nice and simple.
