I use this

#!/bin/bash
result=`ps aux | grep -i "Wingpanel" | grep -v "grep" | wc -l`
if [ $result -ge 1 ]
   then
    killall cerbere &> /dev/null
    wait
    killall wingpanel &> /dev/null
      else
        wingpanel &> /dev/null &
fi

to get wingpanel auto_hide.

• problem It works well in os 5.1. When updating os to 5.1.3, This script need executing twice externally to get wingpanel hiden successfully when booting system.

• I have checked io.elementary.desktop.cerbere monitored-processes is null. Is there anything need to configure.

Cerbere isn't used anymore, so the cerbere setting won't do anything, and the script hasn't been updated.

If you don't want wingpanel to autostart, remove it's autostart from /etc/xdg/autostart. Do so at your own risk though. I don't know what side effects removing components of the session has.

Closing this as it's not an issue.

After removing wingpanel, maybe the screen will stay on elementary logo forever. Maybe.

Is there any other setting monitering wingpanel in case of its crashing. I guess there exists one. When running this script after booting, wingpanel restarts once.
