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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
