The final Lingon screen is where you specify what file will be launched, and what file to watch for changes that will cause the specified program to launch. You can leave the other options as they are, then click Next. The name you choose must be unique on your machine, and it should use “reverse domain naming,” to match the convention used on OS X. Click Next to proceed to the Label dialog, which is where you’ll name your new daemon. Since we’re creating a task to relaunch a crashed application, select “Run an application/script when a file is modified.” You might think that “Keep an application/script always running” would be the proper selection, but if you use that option, then you won’t be able to quit the program even when you want to! Using this approach, we’ll just make sure the program restarts after a crash, allowing you to quit it yourself if you want to. After installing Lingon somewhere on your hard drive, launch it and click the Assistant button in the toolbar. Lingon, a graphical interface for creatingĭaemons. This is not to imply that it crashes any more or less often than any other program, but I had to use something as an example!
#SNAPZ PRO X STOPPED WORKING FREE#
While you can create this daemon yourself, we’re going to use a free open-source application to help speed the process-if you want to do it on your own,įor my example, I’m going to use SnapzPro-because it’s an application I use constantly, and I need it to be always running. By taking advantage of aįeature, we’ll be able to create a daemon that watches for the evidence of a program crash, then restarts the program. Handles all of the systems daemons, for things like networking, web serving, and printing, but it can also launch user daemons, which is what we’ll use it for in this hint.
OS X 10.4, you can do this by taking advantage of the system’s
Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a way to automatically restart a crashed application? You then relaunch the program, and it goes back to work in the background.
You only notice they’ve crashed when you try to use them to perform a task. However, when they do, it can be troublesome, because they usually just sit there quietly in the background, waiting for you to do something. ? Like nearly all OS X applications, these programs don’t crash very often. Do you use a background-only application (no dock icon) that’s critical to your workflow? Something like
