Making sure the mythbackend stays up

OK, I'll admit that I'm a little overboard on not wanting to miss any recordings. I run a script every three minutes to make sure that the backend is still up, and restart it if it is not. You already have this script if you already did the "Configure the power button on the remote" step above, but just in case, we will re-fetch the required script:

cd /usr/local/bin
wget http://s91928265.onlinehome.us/hfamily/mythtv/mbe.keepup.shchmod a+rx mbe.keepup.sh

And now, add the following line to your /etc/crontab:

*/3 * * * * mythtv /usr/local/bin/mbe.keepup.sh cron >& /dev/null
