Is it possible to detect a mythbackend crash or hang, and then to have the system automatically restart it?

I encountered a few scheduling problems this weekend that were resolved with a simple SSH, and mythbackend & command.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, it is possible and it memory serves there is script floating around somewhere (check the MythTV archives)... However, I'd greatly caution against using a script that does this automagically. If the backend dies, it mostly died for a reason. One should investigate the log to why out why.
