I'm running rescuetime on Ubuntu 16.04 as a startup application.

$ cat .config/autostart/rescuetime.desktop 
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/rescuetime
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[en_GB]=RescueTime
Name=RescueTime

Unfortunately rescuetime often fails. How do I restart a startup application? Can I make it restart automatically?

  • I think you can use Upstart user jobs: http://askubuntu.com/a/518440/158442 (Even though systemd is init, upstart handles user sessions, iirc), and it can restart tasks if respawn is specified in the job configuration – muru Jan 19 '17 at 08:01
  • I can't even get rescuetime to work on ubuntu 16.04 at all. The applet doesnt appear and no time is logged in the app. Any advice with this? – ubuntu_uk_user Apr 26 '17 at 14:42
  • @ubuntu_uk_user Are you sure you installed the correct package? Probably 64bit is what you need. – Niel de Wet May 02 '17 at 13:19
  • @NieldeWet I have installed the right package. Just running rescuetime seems to do nothing. Everytime I open the rescuetime deb it asks me to install the package again (even though I already went through the installation process) – ubuntu_uk_user May 05 '17 at 14:46
