title: Python script stopping after a while
body: <p>I have a raspberry pi with raspbian on it, and I've created a python script that I need to have running all the time. The problem is that after running for an hour or so, the script suddenly stops, and the python process shuts down. I have no idea why, and I'm very new to linux so I don't know how to debug it or anything. I don't think it's a memory issue because during the while loop I free and reinit all objects used. How can I find out what the issue is, or at least automatically restart the program once it stops?</p>
  
  <p>This is the code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>import time
  import sys
  import ftputil
  import pygame
  import pygame.camera
  import logging
  
  pygame.camera.init()
  #pygame.camera.list_camera() #Camera detected or not
  cam = pygame.camera.Camera("/dev/video0",(640,480))
  count = 5
  logging.basicConfig(filename='log.log', level=logging.INFO)
  logging.info(str(time.time())+" : Script was started")
  
  while True:
          cam.start()
          img = cam.get_image()
          pygame.image.save(img,"current.jpeg")
          cam.stop()
          host = ftputil.FTPHost(**)
          host.upload("./current.jpeg", "/domains/*/public_html/webcam.jpg", mode='b')
          host.close()
          if not count:
                  host = ftputil.FTPHost(**)
                  filename = str(time.time()) + ".jpg"
                  host.upload("./current.jpeg", "/webcamarchive/"+filename, mode='b')
                  host.close()
                  count = 10
                  logging.info(str(time.time())+": Still running")
          count -= 1
          time.sleep(3)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I run the script from ssh. But I would like to make it start when the computer starts up, as well, how would I do this?</p>
