Mm.. yes, we already hook into the exec*("player") call for the serial port parameter, so simply counting those over a short interval would detect crash-loops, and sticking in the "-i" should be simple.

I'll put it on my TO-DO list, behind PASV ftp support -- yesterday I wrote a simple FTP server from scratch (userspace), and discovered that PASV is much simpler to implement than previously thought. But my brief attempt to then add it to Hijack just plain failed with core dumps. I need to tidy up the existing code some first, I guess.

Maybe in February, after the crunch is over (still busy writing material for Embedded Linux course that starts on Monday..)

Cheers
