[mythtv-users] Need ideas for auto-recovery of locked up backend

[Craig Huff]

Gentlemen,

Thanks for your suggestions!

Simon- are you talking about a watchdog timer that exists in the
native hardware?  IIRC, such a timer exists in Intel CPUs.  Sadly, my
system is based on an AMD Athlon CPU.  If I'm wrong, I'd gladly like
more information on how to implement it with AMD CPUs.

OTOH, the suggestion from f-myth-users using an external one-shot is a
possibility I hadn't considered.  Hmmm...

Craig.
