How to run app in an infinite loop

Hi guys,

I'm trying to run rdesktop in an infinite loop. So far I have managed to auto run it before the desktop comes up. The challenge now is to write short script that will be re-running app when user will try to press esc or session times out. Normally ctrl+alt+enter and then esc was interrupting the loop. Other combination can be used or secret key combination pressed to log-in root...

On different distro i have used following scripts:

until $

do

rdesktop (lots of switches here)

done

and 2nd one:

for (( ; ; ))

do

rdesktop (lots of switches here)

done

I have not got a clue how to do it in SliTaz

Could you please help me?

Many thanks!
