Making MythTV email me with errors

Hello all,

I just happened to log into MythWeb and noticed that I had an error:
Last mythfilldatabase run started on 2010-09-02 03:49 and ended on
2010-09-02 03:49. FAILED: xmltv returned error code 512.
There's guide data until 2010-09-08 00:50 (6 days).

A quick Google suggests that this should be easy to fix (although I have
no idea why it failed after months with no issues), but we are going away
and I could easily have been caught out.

Is there a way (a plugin, a script somebody has written etc) to have
MythTV email errors that are likely to require intervention like:
* this one (a guide update failure);
* a failed recording;
* low space or, if "AutoExpire instead of delete" is turned on, very few
remaining deleted recordings to expire; or
* a failure of mythconverg_backup.pl.

I clearly wouldn't want to be emailed with every entry in the logs (I get
hundreds about reference frames etc).

Thanks in advance,

Aaron

thetvdb.com is down currently which is likely effecting nzepg.org - if
that's what you are using.

The easiest way to do that for mythfilldatabase would be to check the
entries in the settings table of the database as that's where that info
is stored.

I wouldn't worry too much though as generally there is 7 days of data
and if an issue lasts longer than a day or so I'm sure you'll see emails
on this list.
