[gdm-list] How to handle frequent resets?

[יצחק בר-גבע <yitzhakbg yahoo com>]

We run multiple local X servers under gdm, each with its own screen, 
keyboard and mouse. We request advice on how to control "runaway" X 
servers. This could be a result of a user logging out and the X server 
couldn't restart due to a POST or other problem. Another phenomenon is 
the the server eats up 99% cpu with the result that it's keyboard and 
mouse input are frozen.
Question: How could we launch the X servers in a script which would 
monitor their progress and automatically restart them in the event of 
such a problem. Other angles of attack would be warmly welcomed. It is 
imperative that we have ome automatic mechanism until Nvidia solve some 
problems with their boards, because in the meanwhile this causes 
children in the classroom much frustration.
