in my config file exists…

exec-once = zsh -c 'sleep 1' && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar && waybar

Why? Because waybar crashes sometimes when I turn my monitor off/on, I documented this here: https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/issues/3047

…this opens waybar if it crashes… and if that crashes, it opens another waybar, and you’ll notice, if that one crashes, it opens another one… now you may have seen the pattern here but in case you didn’t, that one will then lead to another waybar…

Is there a less ridiculous way of making waybar open every time when waybar crashes, giving me better fault tolerance?

    Yeah I noticed it wasn’t actually working and for some reason assumed that it was because it crashed so many times that I ran out of waybars, so I added a million after that, and you’re totally right, I know better than that, thanks!
