First of all, do you mean check for remote mythtv clients connected to
the backend?

Checking your TTY is the best, for example:

nikdoof at mythtv ~ $ w
 09:02:57 up 3 days, 19:50,  2 users,  load average: 0.06, 0.10, 0.09
USER     TTY        LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
mythtv   tty1      Mon13    3days 43:29   0.00s -bash
nikdoof  pts/0     09:02    0.00s  0.00s  0.00s w

Remote user is logged into pts/0, standard pseudo terminal, where as
the actual mythfrontend on this shared front/backend is running a X
session and logged into tty1.

If your login is managed by xdm/kdm/gdm then when your on the inital
login screen it will not create a login session, and therefore not
showing the "w" listings.
