Scripts to restart X,mythfrontend,exit LiveTV when inactive

[johnnyrevell]

Having had some problems with my frontend crashing due to heat issues and locking the backend on LiveTV,I have cobbled together a few scripts that
- enable the use of the red button on my streamzap remote to restart X
- calculate the last time a button was pressed on the remote and if
more that 90 minutes has elapsed will simulate an ESCAPE and stop live
tv to reduce the chance of my frontend crashing
- monitors mythfrontend CPU usage and CPU temp and restarts X if > 90% / 90 C

just put scripts in root tftp directory and minimyth.script will download them
