auto repair script for mysql

Hello all,

I have one server, where electric power goes down time to time.
I have many databases in mysql, and some tables are corrupted.
Do you think it is good idea to write script and put it to cron, and
it should check if some table has error (MYSQL show status command?),
and if yes, it will repair it.

Just idea...

I think it would be a good idea to get a battery backup and prevent the
entire thing from going down.

You can use myisamchk:

But it would be better to get a UPS.
