I don't know.  I'm not all that familiar with this stuff, especially since 
things have been changing recently (like upstart).  If he's got a default 
Mythbuntu install then mythtv-backend is an upstart job.  You could write 
another upstart job that does the checking loop, and then modify the 
mythtv-backend job to depend on that one (ie add it to "start on" stanza). 
 Writing the upstart job is easy - I have one in there that calls the same 
firewire primer script as my sleep/resume script does.  In Kubuntu 8.04 
there was an issue where the backend started before networking was fully 
loaded and it never found my HDHomeRun.  For that I just took the easy 
route and put a "sleep 10" in the backend init script, so that would be 
another easy option.
