True - but I don't NFS mount the .nuv files, and the xBox doesn't mysteriously reboot itself anyway - if it did, then I would know that the backend has stopped - which is probably more important than watching a recording. > However, I'd be interesting to take a peek at the XBox script. #!/bin/bash BACKEND_FLAG="/mnt/myth/backend.flag" # See if the backend flag exists if [ -e $BACKEND_FLAG ] then exit fi # Flag file could not be found logger ERROR: Lost connection with mythbackend flag. Rebooting... # shutdown -r now #TODO: Put in some sort of count to make sure we don't end up in endless reboot cycle.
