+# This is good to use in your crontab for rebooting the bot
+# automagically upon its untimely demise. Use a line such as this in
+# your crontab:
+#
+# 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * $HOME/mozbot/run-mozbot-from-crontab
+#
+# Change the paths to your mozbot accordingly above and in the next
+# line.
+
+cd $HOME/mozbot
+
+# Create an empty .pid file first if it doesn't exist.
+touch ./mozbot.pid
