restart application if it dies
 

i have installed x11vnc ... and it works perfectly.. i have it starting up when x is started, but the only problem is that if a client disconnects the server service dies... so i have to type x11vnc in the console again for the server to be restarted..

is there a way i can set it to restart if this happens?

cheers

I do a simlar thing with webmin.

I run the following via cron every 5 mins:

You will need to replace miniserv.pl with whatever the process is called and /etc/webmin/start with the command to start x11vnc.

However, I suspect there is an option so that x11vnc does not end when the last client disconnects - I don't actually know x11vnc.

Use both and you'll cover about as many situations as you can.

Has a few nice other methods than the cron-job...
