Hey Bart,
When the script running in xsession exits, it will restart X, so if you
have autologin, and PD crashing does cause an exit, then it will restart
automatically when it crashes. Note I don't find PD doing that on linux
very often...
Also if PD stalls without exiting you can get the gallery staff to just
"control-alt-backspace" to restart the patch without restarting the
computer.

Hi Ben,
I would like the script to be respawnd, in the rare case the script
might crash. Afaik putting it in .xsessions only cares of starting the
script, right?
Chrs,

Hey Bart,
Put the PD startup stuff in your ~/.xsession, and configure your
display manager to use xsession. (eg chosee 'Xclient script' in GDM)

Hi,
I use PD-extended in Debian Lenny, this for a small media-installation.
After the pc boots and logged into X, i would like pd (with gui) to
start automatically.
I made the script below and wanted to use that in /etc/inittab. It
seems to start as root and does not show a gui either.
The script itself works perfectly ok when I run it myself.
How can I configure inittab correctly so it runs as user instead of
root, and shows the gui to?
My current inittab entry [to say: I don't know anything about inittab
(blush) ]
TY:23:respawn:/home/abortx/pd-daemon.sh
the script (pd-daemon.sh)
#!/bin/sh
RUNNING=
export DISPLAY=:0.0
pd -open /home/abortx/pd/pdp-gem-bridge-3.pd &
while true; do
RUNNING=`pidof pd`
if [ -z $RUNNING ]; then
pd -open /home/abortx/pd/pdp-gem-bridge-3.pd &
fi
sleep 10
done
Thanks!
Bart

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly
by.
