Under what circumstances would the application be ending? If it''s an exception, rescue it at the most appropriate level. You can''t enter Wx::App''s main loop more than once in a script, but you can have no visible frames/dialogs. If you don''t want to end the application, hide() the frame, rather than close(). a

This works for me on OS X: Wx::App.run do def self.on_exit exec("ruby #$0") end .... end This assumes the environment''s ruby is the right one to start the app. Note that you''ll want to have your editor handy to comment out the restart else you''ll end up in a permanent loop. In your case, you''ll want to wrap the exec in some sort of conditional which checks for restart after upgrade. If it''s an open app, I''d be interested to hear about/see examples of code updating over net whenever you''re ready. alex
