He's a quick tip to force a process to always keep respawning. Basically if the process dies, another will start in its place.
Save this as, respawn.sh: CODE #!/bin/sh while [ 1 ]; do /bin/ls -l /home/znx done Now execute it like this: CODE $ ./respawn.sh Now the screen will fill with lots and lots of ls information. Ctrl+C will kill it for you. This is an example of a neverending loop. Now where would you want this? Well the reason that I'm writing this is that I recently helped Blue|Moon setup this to ensure that a Counter Strike Source server would keep running: CODE #!/bin/sh while [ 1 ]; do cd /path/to/install ./srcds_run -game cstrike ..... the rest of your options ...... done Started with: CODE $ cd /path/to/install $ screen -m -d -S sourceserver ./respawn.sh Now when the server quits or is killed, another takes its place, saving you the user from having to login remotely and start it all the time
