Hi,
I have a nicely working script for rotating backgrounds in openbox. It
is initiated in autostart.sh. My trouble involves having this shut
down if I log out, then back in at a later time. The first instance
does not get terminated, so my backgrounds begin to change at really
interesting rates...
Is there a check of some sort I can put into the script in the
beginning that will either exit if another instance is running, or shut
that earlier one down and continue on?
The script is off some online forum, called by:
./.config/openbox/wallpaperRandomSwitch.sh
in autostart.sh. The script itself:
#!/bin/bash
shopt -s nullglob
cd ~/Pictures
while true; do
files=()
for i in *.[Jj][Pp][Gg] *.png; do
[[ -f $i ]] && files+=("$i")
done
range=${#files[@]}
((range)) && feh --bg-max "${files[RANDOM % range]}"
sleep 15m
done
Many thanks for suggestions!
Kenward
