my *nix-experience is long ago + running out of time, so: has
someone of you made a shellscript running on OS X, that
recognizes if Pd is still runnig (with ps -cx | grep "pd" ?) and
if it is not, restart Pd?you can try:
$ PDBIN=/usr/bin/pd ; pgrep $PDBIN &>/dev/null || $PDBIN
thanks!
but: -is there a more os x-specific script, because pgrep is not
available on os x, although bsd subsystem is installed. to compile
'proctools 0.4', that provides pgrep for os x, 'bsdmake' is
necessary, which assumes that xcode is installed. after all, it would
consume to much of my time just to get pgrep.
another thing: how to run this script continuously every 15sec? the
pd-'metro' object would be cool for this..
sorry for posting offtopic, but this is really important and i can't
find anything on the web.
rainer.
