in my config file exists…
exec-once = zsh -c 'sleep 1' && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar
Why? Because waybar crashes sometimes when I turn my monitor off/on, I documented this here: https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/issues/3047
…this opens waybar if it crashes… and if that crashes, it opens another waybar, and you’ll notice, if that one crashes, it opens another one… now you may have seen the pattern here but in case you didn’t, that one will then lead to another waybar…
Is there a less ridiculous way of making waybar open every time when waybar crashes, giving me better fault tolerance?
Have you tried using the latest git version of Waybar? They fixed a segfault a few days ago which might be the same one you’re facing.
…that does indeed look very similar, but my solution makes it so that if waybar crashes it doesn’t even matter, which I quite like, even if the segfault has been fixed.
