Ah, ok. First of all, my preference would be to say "while True:"
there, seems more clear to me. A
Sorry, was not very specific in my request.
say i have a script like
while 1:
do_something_cool()
time.sleep(2)
i am running this on a linux computer. How would i check that it is
running? (from cron part)
and how do i kick it off when i boot the computer? ( the init script part)
thanks
while True:
is also a common way to make your program "run forever". Although you still
need to create some sleep/wait function or it will eat up your available
processes (so I'm told).

Hey gents,
I have an interesting problem. I need to have a python script start
when a computer boots up, and i need it to run forever.
I also am going to run a script by cron that will check to see if the
process is running, if not, i need a python script to execute
the script.
What would be a go
