Keep a program running permanently in KDE?

[x-to-tha-t]

Hi all, I'm trying to find a way to enhance the stability of a program by ensuring that if it stops running (through crash or simple close button pressed), to restart it automatically. I've tried googling for an answer, but I can't find one anywhere.

I looked into using BASH "while true" loops but haven't had much success in getting it to work.

I'd prefer if it could be done in BASH, but I could use another scripting language (e.g. Perl or Python) if needs be. Any help on this subject would be much appreciated as I am struggling a bit on it.

btw I'm using KDE 3.5.

Thanks in advance guys!!!

Have you checked the watch command


man watch

If you need an example let me know!

Thanks for the uber speedy reply! I hadn't thought of that, actually. I know the watch command quite well. I shall have a fiddle with it. Thanks again!!!
