Question

I have a daemon written in C++ running on the background on android.

I want that daemon to restart upon crash or unexpected event without adding independent crash protection. What is the best way to do this ? I hope to edit init.rc.

Answer 1

You should specify in your init.rc file:

service <name> <pathname> [ <argument> ]
     critical
     <option>
     <option>
     ...

I think that in your case you should not specify options. However, here you can find the list of options. After editing init.rc run make command.
