===== What happens if zynthian crashes and how do I stop it restarting on errors ? =====

When a zynthian starts up, most of the early functions and what gets run gets handled by a linux tool called systemd. This organises what order things happen in and nursemaids programmes, setting up procedures for what to do when programmes crash or misbehave. For instance there is no point in starting up the network devices if there is no network, and this is the sort of thing systemd does on your behalf. In the zynthian case it starts up the zynthian programme using the scripts we discussed in /zynthian/zynthian-ui and handles a zynthian by restarting the GUI if the software crashes for some reason. This is what you want if you are performing but is decidedly irritating if you are trying to write and test code.
