One easy way to make sure you bot is always running on Linux/*BSD is to create a cron job.
Here is an example cron script to keep the bot running:
#!/bin/bash # Edit these 2 lines for your RadioBot folder and executable name DIR=/home/radio/radiobot PROCNAME=radiobot PID=`/sbin/pidof ${PROCNAME}` if [ "$PID" = "" ]; then echo "Running ${PROCNAME}..." cd ${DIR} if [ "$DISPLAY" = "" ]; then ./${PROCNAME} & else ./${PROCNAME} fi fi
If your system doesn't have pidof, you could also replace the PID=... line with this:
PID=`ps ux | grep ${PROCNAME} | grep -v grep`
