foo-wallpaper-feh-gif's Issues

Use flock to ensure that only a single instance of back4.sh is running.

I had an issue when reloading bspwm would result in multiple instances of back4.sh running and the wallpaper would get choppy with weird artifacts.

The killall command wasn't working, resulting in 'back4.sh: no process found'.

Adding 'flock -n /var/lock/back4.lock /usr/bin/back4.sh auto /PATH/TO/FILE' to bspwmrc solved the issue.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Linux Mint 21.2 x86_64
• DE: Cinnamon
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile

Just a small typo in the readme I noticed

autostart with i3, in i3 config:
exec_always --no-startup-id killall back4.sh
exec_always --no-startup-id $HOME/back4.sh 0.03 Downloads/beautycity.gif

Should be:

autostart with i3, in i3 config:
exec_always --no-startup-id killall back4.sh
exec_always --no-startup-id $HOME/back4.sh 0.03 Downloads/beautycity.gif &

Without the & it won't work.
That's all, tysm for the scritp. :)

Doesn't handle ctrl-c SIGINT in loops

If you put this at the beginning of your script, then ctrl-c would behave as expected while the script is in the loop:

trap "echo Exited!; exit;" SIGINT SIGTERM
