I am trying to figure out a way to automatically restart an rdesktop
session it the process dies or is logged off for some reason.
I have setup a script to ps -aux |grep rdesktop and if it doesn't
exist to fire up my session. It works great if you execute it from
command line, but I can't get it to run from cron. /var/log/cron says
it is running, and no error messages are anywhere in the logs. At
first I thought maybe it is because it is an X application, so I tried
xterm -e rdesktop.... but that didn't work either.
I know this script is pretty crude. If anyone else can think of a
better way or a way to get it to run from cron, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
#/bin/bash
TestVar=$(ps -aux | grep 192.168.5.80 | grep -v grep)
if [ -z "$TestVar" ]; then
xterm -e /usr/bin/rdesktop -f -u user -p password 192.168.5.80
fi
I am also messing around with /etc/inittab and respawn but with no
luck as of yet.
Thanks.
