Hi all,
I am setting up another sort of kiosk now, and using pessulus to lock everything down, however there is an application not covered by pessulus, so it can be closed by the user.
There are only two apps going to be available, this one and ephiphany. Ephiphany can be locked to fullscreen by Pessulus. I've found Pessulus excellent for what it does, by the way - very simple and pretty foolproof.
How do I set it so that the other either cannot be closed, or alternatively, if it is closed it immediately restarts? I seem to remember a command option that does that but can't seem to find it or recall what it is. Something to do with respawn?
I will be using devils pie to make it open in a different desktop and with the right geometry, but what I need is something to keep it open all the time.

respawn is an option if you are running it from inittab.
You could also consider something like daemon to run it and restart it if it is closed.
To remove the closure option probably means modifying the app.
Hope that helps,
