For those running an "headless" server or any other host which has no HID/ input devices, occasions arise to maintain an program running all the time. This program does just this:
Check if an task is running (we depend on) and, after an settable delay, run our program and wait until it exits, delay again and after the same delay, repeat all in an infinite loop. Keeping our program running despite segfaults or other errors etc.

Features

  • loop
