Function Documentation

int main	(	const int	argc,
		const char **	argv
	)

Launch various programs on the Beobot.

This launcher should be placed in a cron or init script so that it will permanently be running. To prevent multiple copies of it from running at the same time, we use an flock on a file in /tmp, as suggested on a linuxquestions.org post (so even if the launcher dies badly, which may leave the temp file behind, it will be unlocked and will not prevent a new instance from starting). Here we use the BeoChip to let the user decide what to run. Just before we launch and monitor a new program, we clear and release the BeoChip so that the launched program can use it. Once the launched program terminates, we take the BeoChip over again and show our launch menu.
