I don't know about that but I run this script on
a cron to keep tabs on mythbackend:

#!/bin/sh

if ! lynx -dump http://localhost:6544/ | grep -q Schedule ; then
 echo "Backend is wedged. Here is output:"
 lynx -dump http://localhost:6544/
 echo
 echo "####################################################"
 echo
 echo "Restarting backend."
 killall mythbackend
fi
