Re: [PD] respawn PD with gui in Debian

Hi Ben,

I would like the script to be respawnd, in the rare case the script might crash. Afaik putting it in .xsessions only cares of starting the script, right?

Chrs, bart

Hey Bart,

Put the PD startup stuff in your ~/.xsession, and configure your display manager to use xsession. (eg chosee 'Xclient script' in GDM)

Hi,

I use PD-extended in Debian Lenny, this for a small media-installation. After the pc boots and logged into X, i would like pd (with gui) to start automatically. I made the script below and wanted to use that in /etc/inittab. It seems to start as root and does not show a gui either.

The script itself works perfectly ok when I run it myself. How can I configure inittab correctly so it runs as user instead of root, and shows the gui to?

My current inittab entry [to say: I don't know anything about inittab (blush) ] TY:23:respawn:/home/abortx/pd-daemon.sh

the script (pd-daemon.sh) #!/bin/sh RUNNING= export DISPLAY=:0.0 pd -open /home/abortx/pd/pdp-gem-bridge-3.pd & while true; do RUNNING=pidof pd if [ -z $RUNNING ]; then pd -open /home/abortx/pd/pdp-gem-bridge-3.pd & fi sleep 10 done

Thanks!

Bart
