Ubuntu :: Automatically Restart A Program On Close?
May 18, 2010
I'm trying to get a program to automatically reload if I accidentally close it. This is a remote access program, so it has to be relaunched without me doing anything to help it along if it crashes or I accidentally close it. I noticed that someone came up with a way to solve this back in 2007 [URL].. but the files don't appear to exist any more for it to work. how I might get a program to automatically reload on exit?
I have just finished the upgrade of the latest version and I'm at the point of my system restating.
My system automatically tried to restart but on the restart I got the 'terminal' view. It stopped when asking for my username (it never normally asks for this before the grub menu) and then password. I didn't get any further than that.
I now have on my screen (still in the terminal view before the grub menu)
"name@name-desktop:...$ "

I have noticed that after few days of ideal system it will stop its network interface. To resolve this I have to login to the machine it self and then issue # service network start Is this a feature.

What I would like to do is if the app crashes which kills xinit for the system to either kill login (which will auto login and restart the app) or just to execute the startx command (which auto launches the app) as if typed in from the keyboard.

I have installed Blender from Blender.org. I have installed it my home directory. After launching Blender the icon appears in the unity launcher.

I'm running Debian Squeeze x64 and have an odd problem with both Empathy and Pidgin. After I launch the program and add my accounts everything works fine. When I shut down either program and restart the accounts will not connect. I have to delete the accounts and re-add them and all is good until the next time. It's not a firewall issue as I've tried it with the firewall turned off.
Does anyone know how I can make a program run automatically when a file appears in a particular directory? I have two computers, one to program the firmware on a microcontroller (command line only), and the other is my desktop machine running Ubuntu. I have an NFS share between the two. What I want is to be able to drop a new firmware load into the shared directory from the desktop, and have the other computer notice it and program the microcontroller with it. Right now I have to open an SSH session to the other computer, run the program manually, and then delete the file. I would like to automate all of that.
