I have a command that starts a process. Should that process die whilst I'm not at my computer, I want a script to restart it. How do I do this? What doc might I read that would provide examples? I presume I should launch the process so that it's pid is written to a file, and then I can just test for the running pid? But, I don't know how to go forward with this, so would appreciate all advice and direction. -- Janina Sajka Email: janina at rednote.net Phone: (202) 408-8175 Director, Technology Research and Development American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) http://www.afb.org Chair, Accessibility Work Group Free Standards Group http://accessibility.freestandards.org
