IM not running any kind of terminal software, this is more a generic question how to solve the problem with applications that is dying. I would like to have these application restarted as soon as possible after they die. e.g. lets say I have some FreeBSD boxes that does very little and I would like to donate the spare CPU cycles to the distributed.net project, these boxes is almost never attended to and it would be a shame if the rc5des application stopped running and I there for not did contribute all the spare CPU cycles I would like it to. Is there some sort of daemon I could install that would do this thing instead of a inittab ? // Patrik > -----Original Message----- > From: Greg Lehey [SMTP:grog@lemis.com] > Sent: den 19 januari 1999 11:41 > To: Patrik Åström > Cc: 'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org' > Subject: Re: What to use instead of inittab > > On Tuesday, 19 January 1999 at 11:20:38 +0100, Patrik Åström wrote: > > Hi! > > > > FreeBSD dont have a inittab like HP-UX, Solaris, Linux etc... > > > > Is there anything I can use instead ?, > > Yes. > > > or do I need to write a script that runs from cron and looks for any > > proccess that have died and then restart them. > > I suppose it depends on what you want to do.
