Actually, crontabs may require a restart or server reboot. Might also need to run with sudo crontab -e if running server as root.

If you don't have crontab installed, try this:

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install cron

Then you need to reboot for the cron process to take effect.
Add your crontab with crontab -e or sudo crontab -e
Then activate your crontab. I think sudo service cron restart

Then to stop you need to edit the crontab and then restart the cron service. Seems more complicated to me.

I don't think so Roll Eyes

Code:

man crontab

snip

UdjinM6, I do believe the crontab method is indeed the most stable way of doing this and this should work. I am probably thinking this is harder than it is. But I have struggled in the past to get permissions of the crontab user, file permissions, and directory just right so everything runs. Just trying to save someone else a little of that time I wasted...

I've upgraded my masternodes to v12.0.49 but I'm still seeing some of them drop off the list after 1-2 hours as EXPIRED. It's strange because the 'expired' masternodes are still active with port open (responding to 'dash-cli getinfo'). Anyone else having this problem?

50% of the time is because you execute the "masternode startt "xxx"" from the cold wallet that is not on the last version.

Aha! I think this was my problem. The cold daemon was still on v12.0.46. Testing now, hopefully they'll stick. Thanks.

How to start dashd automatically again after it crashed.

run:

Code:

crontab -e

add line:

Code:

*/1 * * * *home/dashuser/mn_watch.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

use any editor you like and save this as "mn_watch.sh" file in user "dashuser" home directory:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
if [ -z `pidof dashd` ]; then
/home/dashuser/dashd
fi

add executable flag:

Code:

chmod u+x mn_watch.sh

PS. Use appropriate username, not "dashuser" from my example Wink

I also assumed that dashd is located in your user home directory, change path if needed.

PPS. not tested but should work Roll Eyes

EDIT: ooops, tested and fixed

I have an existential crisis with this. If the daemon should stop but nobody is around to witness it, did it really stop? How will we ever know?

No problems at all doing it in another way.

I didn't mean to force everyone to use my script, it was just few statements in your post that doesn't feel like they are 100% correct Roll Eyes

But yeah, there are multiple ways to achive the same result and there could be some unexpected troubles using either method.

EDIT: so, once again, no troubles and thank you for providing alternative version that worked for you.

Our build system now produce linux files that are not recognized by Ubuntu file explorer as executables though they are.
I wrote yet another simple script Grin

to install dash-qt from downloaded archive and to give it a nice icon.
Here is what you need to do:

1) After you extracted downloaded archive you should have dash-0.12.0 folder somewhere.
Go inside it, create a file named install_dash_qt.sh and edit it with your favorite editor:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
sudo -s install -m 0755 -o root -g root -tusr/local/bin bin/dash-qt
echo "[Desktop Entry]
Name=Dash-Qt
Comment=Dash - Reinventing Cryptocurrency https://www.dashpay.io
Type=Application
Exec=dash-qt %u
Terminal=false
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/dash128.xpm
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/dash
Categories=Applications;Finance;" > ~/Desktop/Dash-Qt.desktop
chmod u+x ~/Desktop/Dash-Qt.desktop
sudo cp ~/Desktop/Dash-Qt.desktopusr/share/applications/
sudo wget -Ousr/share/pixmaps/dash128.xpm https://github.com/dashpay/dash/raw/master/share/pixmaps/bitcoin128.xpm

2) Right click on empty space in that folder and choose "Open in Terminal". In command line issue:

Code:

chmod u+x install_dash_qt.sh

to make file executable and

Code:

./install_dash_qt.sh

to run it.

Enter your password and shortly after you should have a nice icon on your Desktop and the same icon in Applications.

Enjoy!

PS. This script reguires wget. Install it first if you don't have it already

Code:

sudo apt-get install wget

EDIT:
"su -c" requires you to set root password which "normal"/non-developer users do not have at all (by ubuntu's default)
Changed script to use "sudo -s" instead, give it a try if you had problems before

I set this up to run every 10 minutes, just because it will be a pain if you are updating and every minute it tries to restart dashd. If you want to run with UdjinM6's suggestion with the crontab start with a */10 for 10 minutes so you don't have to stop the crontab everytime you update your node.

Why not just put "rm dashd" as the first line of your update script? Basically pull the rug out from under the crontab, so that it will not be able to start up again while you're in the process of updating. Once you've put an (updated) dashd back in the same spot, the crontab should continue to work its magic as usual.

The questions are: How long does it take to shutdown dashd? and How fast can you remove the dashd after it is shutdown? If it takes 30 seconds you have a 50/50 shot with a 1 minute restart. I think we do have about an hour that you can be down before you have to to a local start. So every 10 minutes isn't really a big deal.

The best way to control dedicated cron jobs like this is through an intermediary file.

Code:

*/1 * * * * [ -fhome/dashuser/.dash/dashd_enable ] &&home/dashuser/mn_watch.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

Then you can ignore cron and just do

Code:

touch ~/.dash/dashd_enable

to monitor/auto-restart and

Code:

rm ~/.dash/dashd_enable

when you want cron to keep its mitts off your procs.

--

Also, adding logging-on-action to mn_watch.sh and redirecting to a logfile is a good idea. You want to know how often this happens.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
if [ -z `pidof dashd` ]; then
echo "$(date +%Y-%m-%d\ %H:%m:%S\ %Z) - restarting dashd"
/home/dashuser/dashd 2>&1 >/dev/null
fi

(dashd >/dev/null not a big deal, it has it's own logging)

then

Code:

*/1 * * * * [ -fhome/dashuser/.dash/dashd_enable ] &&home/dashuser/mn_watch.sh >/home/dashuser/mn_watch.log 2>&1

Dash is 27.3 times faster with syncing and updating than Bitcoin and 93.7 times faster than Monero. Bitcoin (v0.11.0) has a Tao ratio 11.2% faster than bitcoin (v0.10.0) release.
Dash (v.0.12.0.49) = Tao sync ratio = 0.15 seconds hour of update || Dash (v.0.11.2.23) = Tao sync ratio = 0.24 seconds hour of update. V12 versus V11 speedup = +36.5%
Bitcoin (v.0.11.0) = Tao sync ratio = 4.14 seconds hour of update || Monero (v.0.41.1) = Tao sync ratio = 14.2 seconds hour of update

You're quite welcome.

Hopefully this filesystem layout will work for everybody. Is just how I've been doing things.
(I'm a big fan of self-documenting)

lmk if you run into any trouble and I'll push out a patch.
( And the script won't run if it's not up to date!

Yay, polling! )
