the AT daemon should be a viable option. I just need to look up the syntax.

I do use keep alives in my interactive sessions and it works. But this doesn't help when I spawn a process.

I like the idea of using screen and I am going to test that. I like that I can go back to a session after the fact and see everything that was there. I just need to figure out how to use it.

Cool script. I will have to test it and see how it works. Did you use the Bourne shell for a particular reason?
Why not use the Bash shell? Thanks

photon
PHOTON(1) PHOTON(1)
NAME
photon - generates photo albums
SYNOPSIS
photon [OPTIONS] [PATH]
DESCRIPTION
Photon generates clean, yet configurable, static HTML photo galleries. All of the work is done from the command line, and the resulting
output can easily be configured by changing the template files found in /usr/share/photon/templates.
To create a new template (skin), first create a new directory:
mkdir -p ${HOME}/.photon/templates/my_theme/
Then copy the contents of /usr/share/photon/templates/photonv1/ to this new directory. Photon only needs three files to build pages:
index.html
used to display the content of a folder
image.html
used to display the page for an image
movie.html
used to display the page for a movie
If a file is missing, then photon will throw an error and will not run.
HOW TO BUILD A GALLERY
Quick start
$ photon -o myoutputdir /photos
Use the gimp plugin
$ photon --resize-plugin=gimp -v -o myoutputdir /photos
Change the size for all images and the thumbnail and keep the original photo
$ photon --sizelist=0,1600x1200,800x600 --thumbsize=320x240 -o myoutputdir /photos
Create a gallery from your custom template (skin)
$ photon -k my_theme -o myoutputdir /photos
