Hi all, I have a litte problem for which I'm looking for ideas. I want to run a program in while loop like this: while :; do rdesktop host; sleep 1; done because it can take some time for the host to make its remote desktop server available, so I want rdesktop to open as soon as its ready. However, if I put this into a launcher on my menu: bash -c "while :; do rdesktop host; sleep 1; done" then when I disconnect, it reconnects again! So I want the while loop to exit when I disconnect, but not if the server refuses the connection... Any ideas? I guess I could try and get the return value of rdesktop, but I don't know how to do that in bash... yet!
