[mythtv-users] Backend Watchdog??

Thanks.

I agree, the port idea is ideal as it will presumably pick up
non-responsive situations as well as crashes.

Althoug having said that I have seen times when the backend is non
responsive to the frontend but it is still recording!

I guess you can't win all the time!!
