A simple python3 script to restart qBittorrent when libtorrent f*cked up, including segmentation fault and memory leak.
This script launches qBittorrent as a python subprocess and polls its status every args.poll_interval seconds. During each poll, the script checks whether qBittorrent has been terminalted abnormally (SIGSEGV, etc.) or has encountered a memory leak (used more than args.threshold of the system physical memory). If qBittorrent has entered the states above, it will be killed and relaunched.
If X server exists in the execution environment, the GUI version of qBittorrent will be launched by default. If the GUI version does not exist, it will automatically fallback to the CLI version (qbittorrent-nox).
This script is a perfect complement to the unstable and ill-written libtorrent and qBittorrent code.
