IM not running any kind of terminal software, this is more a generic
question how to solve the problem with applications that is dying. I would
like to have these application restarted as soon as possible after they die.
e.g. lets say I have some FreeBSD boxes that does very little and I would
like to donate the spare CPU cycles to the distributed.net project, these
boxes is almost never attended to and it would be a shame if the rc5des
application stopped running and I there for not did contribute all the spare
CPU cycles I would like it to.
Is there some sort of daemon I could install that would do this thing
instead of a inittab ?
