/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice -quickstart Whenever this starts up, it doesn't show up in the "Current Session" tab. I was just wondering if there is a way, since I want to Restart/Respawn this process whenever it ends.
I've not checked, but I'd guess that soffice doesn't support the session-manager protocol (XSMP?).
I believe that only apps. that actively register with the session manager (asserting that they know how to manage sessions [like saving state, etc.]) will appear in the session list.
It would seem a bit remiss of soffice not to use XSMP, but I wouldn't be wholly surprised.
You might try something like the following wrapper [untested!] (run this instead of soffice - I'm assuming soffice doesn't fork off itself; the xdpyinfo is there to make it abort when you log out):
[/usr/local/bin/soffice-forever] #!/bin/sh while true; do xdpyinfo 2>&1 >/dev/null || exit soffice -quickstart done
-- [neil@fnx ~]# rm -f .signature [neil@fnx ~]# ls -l .signature ls: .signature: No such file or directory [neil@fnx ~]# exit
