[nylug-talk] Running Firefox in a While-loop

[Alex Gill]

Hello List,

I have an LTSP setup with Firefox running atop XFCE (xfwm and xfdesktop) 
for the purpose of providing kiosk functionality.  My goal is to have FF 
always up -- and so it'd re-open after being closed.

I'm using xfce's "autostart" feature to launch the script at startup:
    while true; do /usr/bin/firefox; done;
Sometime this gets out of hand and will start launching ad 
infinitum....  But other times, it works nicely.  

Has anyone every tried having such a large app loop like this?  Any 
advice on getting Firefox to always relauch in a sane and reliable way??

TIA, Alex Gill
