Automatic respawn of a init script

[Crannog]

Hi,

Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious. I've built a remote solar powered weatherstation. It runs Python script at startup using a Start-Stop-Damon as described here :http://blog.scphillips.com/posts/2013/0 ... e-on-boot/

I've installed the service as described using "sudo update-rc.d" and it works great. However it crashes occasionally if it can't make a network connection. I currently use a CRON task to restart the service every 2 hours to manage this. (in event of a crash it will re-start in <2hrs). Ideally I'd like it to automatically start if it crashed.

Is it possible to so this with a init.d script?

use systemd not init scripts
dougie will be along RSN with an example .... unless I can find it before hand

That's the one I'm using as a good example from Heater.

Many thanks, all working great. Self recovered great from a power glitch and a Pi Zero crash.
