I have:


until blackbox; do :; done


in my .xinitrc. This way blackbox will be restarted if it quit with
a non-zero exit-code (i.e. crashed).


Groetjes,

The apps I usually run are: lots of aterms, JBuilder6, Mozilla 1.0, 
LimeWire (java apps with j2sdk1.4), GAIM, bbsmount, bbkeys, bbpager, 
some dockapps (wmitime, wmsmixer and another one for controlling xmms), 
XMMS and The Gimp. Oh, and Emacs .. and probably some more I have 
forgotten...

These apps are running most of the time.

Hmmm.  I leave my workstation running 24/7 here (running relatively
current CVS), and I haven't seen anything of this nature.  What
applications are you normally running?

Recommendation:

Don't let your blackbox session kill your work. I have this in my .xinitrc:


blackbox &

xterm


This way, if blackbox exits... my work is fine...  it's not until 'xterm'
exists that my X session is over.

Also, I've run alpha8 for more than 30 hours without a problem, what apps
are you running?
