Now I get no notification other than my show go MISSING Missing missing.  I don't tend to monitor my up coming recordings close enough to notice things go missing until a quarter of the series has passes.  Major bummer!!

I have a script that does this by reading the database looking for filesize < 1000 (that includes filesize 0). It emails me and sends me a text message if it finds any failed recordings. The script  runs from the shutd own script every time the backend is ready to shut down.
