Cron job bash script to restart desktop sharing?

Question

I'm having trouble with desktop sharing crashing while during remote sessions. Is there a way to set cron to check and restart, if necessary, the desktop sharing application with a bash script?

Answer 1

Script:

#!/bin/bash
if [ "`pgrep vino-server`" = "" ]; then
   DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/lib/vino/vino-server --sm-client-disable >/dev/null 2>&1 &
fi

Don't forget to give it execute permission: chmod +x /path/to/script. Then run crontab -e and add this line:

* * * * * /path/to/script
