I'm not too good with writing scripts yet, although I was able to add a FIGlet and a fortune | cowsay line to my .bashrc file. I keep having issues with InSync in which the program closes silently and I have to restart it. Is there a way to write a script that will check if InSync is running and restart it if it is not?
Install insync:
su -c "yum -y install http://s.insynchq.com/builds/insync-1.0.26.31705-1.x86_64.rpm"
Assuming you use bash, as an unpriviledged user: try this on the command line:
while true; do if test -z `ps o uid= -C insync | grep $(id -u)`; then echo launching; gtk-launch insync 2>/dev/null; fi; sleep 5; echo trying; done
If this works for you, remove the echo and increase the sleep time (in sec), and append the line to ~/.bashrc.
Note that this method of restarting will not work if the program stops functioning (hangs), still having a pid.
Why does insync crash? I shouldn't - report a bug to insync.

Please stop using # in tags. I have removed them
My apologies, the dropdown menu for the tags had octothorpes in front of them.
That was because of past misuse. I am trying to avoid others propogating it
