| Description: | 'boxstart' is a kind of watchdog-program, which checks frequently, if all programs of your TNT/DPBox-configuration are still running. If not, the missing programs will be restarted. The function of boxstart is quite simple. TNT, DPBox and TFKISS put their own process-id in a file. Now boxstart checks for this file for each of the programs. Several cases are possible: 1. program was never run No pid-file is found -> start program 2. program exited by error (segmentation fault) pid-file is existing, but process is not active -> start program 3. program exited because of ordinary termination pid-file was erased -> start program 4. program still running pid-file found and process still running -> do nothing |
