[Linux-aus] Booting Into X Application

Great, thanks Jeff!

I would like my app to restart if someone shuts it down or it crashes. 

Maybe I could write a 

while /bin/true; do ./myapp; done 

type wrapper scipt and call this from .xsession. However then I still
need to call startx from somewhere. Can I do this from an /etc/init.d/
script?

Cheers again,
