Yes, that sounds a lot better, thank you!
I'll do some searching and try to learn how to do that. If you have any
handy links for this, I'll be grateful.

By the way, my script runs perfectly now and it shows 0% CPU and 240 KiB
memory, but I think your idea is better anyway. I'm just happy that I made
something that actually works… :P
Just like the old days when I used Ubuntu-One. The daemon crashed all the
time so I wrote a simple script that looked for it now and then and
restarted it if it wasn't found. That one worked too, but it would of
course have been better if the daemon didn't crash in the first place……


Kind regards
