On Mac os x there was a utility called Fermata which would actually freeze an application until you gave it the go ahead to continue. The kernels of both Linux and Mac derive from Unix, and so I would assume such core functionality exists here too.</blockquote> On Dec 13, 2010, at 4:08 PM, Mohamed Ikbel Boulabiar <<a href="mailto:boulabiar@gmail.com">boulabiar@gmail.com</a>> wrote: </div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>Hi, I was wondering whether we can find a better solution to the scenarios where Wayland crashes. You all know that for the X case, when it crashes, everything open is lost, you need to re-login and you need to reopen your apps again. Non-saved work will be lost. Is it possible to change this for wayland ? So when it crashes : 1. Opened apps will freeze automatically 2. Wayland restarted 3. Opened apps will be "reconnected" to the new instance of wayland 4. Apps de-freezed and work is safe. Any comment on the feasibility of this ? Do we need a new watchdog process for waylad only controlling this ? Or something can be hooked starting from the kernel level ?
