You could add an infinite loop to look the process list. If there is no kmix process start a new kmix. Something like:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

while true
do
    if !(pgrep -x "kmix" > /dev/null)
        then kmix
    fi
    sleep 5
done


The script could be started with the KDE: System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Autostart

Sometimes kmix silently exits, audio itself still works. I usually don't notice until I press a loudness key on my keyboard. How can I make kmix automatically restart after it exited/crashed?
I know how to do it manually - with the command 'kmix'. Its an user-session problem, so an upstart job isn't the solution. Do you have any ideas?

If not I would like to know why it exits. Are there any kmix-specific logs?
