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

Is there a less ridiculous way of making waybar open every time when waybar crashes, giving me better fault tolerance?

    Ok firstly that’s hilarious. Secondly I’m pretty sure && means “execute the second thing if the first thing exits with code 0” so if waybar is segfaulting it shouldn’t execute any of the other waybars; if you were to do it this way (while true or a systemd service as suggested in the comments makes more sense) a semicolon would probably make sense?

      Yeah I noticed it wasn’t actually working and for some reason assumed that it was because it crashed so many times that I ran out of waybars, so I added a million after that, and you’re totally right, I know better than that, thanks!
