Special K 0 Posted September 23, 2018 Hi, what is the current approach to installing a cronjob for an ALQO MN? If anyone has a script to share, I would be more than happy if you could share it. Thanks and cheers, Special K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shell script that restarts the masternode if not running and logs the result in the logfile /var/log/alqod_log.txt Create the empty file mn-check-run.sh in /root/ALQO/ Insert following code: #!/bin/sh # Check for ALQO MN running and restart if not case "$(pidof alqod | wc -w)" in 0) echo "Restarting alqod: $(date --utc)" >> /var/log/alqod_log.txt /root/ALQO/alqod & ;; 1) # all ok echo "$(date --utc) alqod already running" >> /var/log/alqod_log.txt ;; *) echo "Attention - multiple instances of ALQO daemon running $(date --utc)" >> /var/log/alqod_log.txt ;; esac 2. Make it executable. Type in the command line in the VPS: chmod 777 /root/ALQO/mn-check-run.sh 3. Create a cronjob which runs the newly created shell script every 10 Minutes Type in the command line on the VPS: crontab –e Select the editor of your choice Insert following line in the file and save it afterwards */10 * * * * /root/ALQO/mn-check-run.sh And that’s it now you have a script that checks every 10 minutes the state of the alqod and restarts it if its not running anymore – I delete the logging of the “running daemon” in the script once I have confirmed that everything is correct. That’s just for the start. In the end I have only the logs of the restarts and the highly unlikely case that more than one daemon is running. made by our awesome smasher! I‘ll create a guide out of this soon.
