Hi Linux Experts.
Since years I am running an fpc program as a kind of daemon on a PC Linux
server.
I simply defined a "respawn" line in /etc/inittab and with any start of the
server, the program happily automatically runs as a daemon.
I would appreciate any idea on how to create some kind of "respawn"
algorithm within this program or with a second program - maybe just a
script. In fact I could use "cron" for this, as happily the system does
allow me to edit crontab (which here actually is /etc/config/crontab and
the /etc/config/ is symlinked to a directory residing in a special location
on a hard disk.
Does it exit in a sufficiently-controlled state that you could simply exec a
new copy at the end of the finalization block? The available parameters
should be accessible in /proc.
No need to modify the program. You can simply script it as
#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]; do
yourprogram youroptions
done
