I have a script that does something like this. At the moment I'm running
MythTV 0.20 and 2.6.20.

I would be simple to have a script running through messages each minute and

How do you detect the disconnects? I haven't been able to identify a
message in the  mythbackend log (perhaps I need to run with more verbose
output?). Now that I'm in a position to do so (finally got broadband at
home) I'm intending to upgrade to 0.20-fixes and probably a 2.6.21 kernel.
However I'm concerned that without an Oops to grep for in /var/log/messages
I'm not going to know how to detect when a disconnect has occurred.
