Hi Egg,



As Tom suggested you might be better off using different client or
simply the one built into Gnome.  Alternatively here's the workaround
I'm using:



Create a text file called az containing the following commands:




Code:
--------------------
    #!/bin/bash

  while true; do azureus; sleep 5; done
--------------------


Make the file executable using the command:




Code:
--------------------
    chmod a+x az
--------------------


Then run the file using:




Code:
--------------------
    ./az
--------------------


If Azureus crashes, the script will wait five seconds before starting
again giving you enough time to hit Ctrl-C if you really want to quit.



Cheers,



Nick
