Title: Cant auto start Bitcoind on restart Post by: chek2fire on August 05, 2015, 04:36:55 PM I have a home 24/7 small bitcoin node and time to time i have to restart it manual for several reasons like a suddenly power of etc. I try to create a script to auro restart the programme especially with restart but with no luck. Everything i have try was a failure.
My system is Ubuntu server 14.04 with upstart and i will describe as better as i can what i have done so far until now. 1)First i try to type this in contrab -e @reboot bitcoind -daemon and then this @reboot /usr/bin/bitcoind -daemon but bitcoind didnt start at all and i have again to start it manual. 2) then i try to type a script in the /etc/rc0.d or to rc.local. The script was that #!/bin/bash while true; do sleep 5 if [ ! "$(pidof bitcoind)" ]; then bitcoind fi done the script was working alone if i run it, was working after restart but was not able to start bitcoind. 3) then i try this http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/13795/ubuntu-linux-how-do-i-start-bitcoind-as-a-service-to-run-automatically Quote description "bitcoind" start on filesystem stop on runlevel [!2345] oom score -500 expect fork respawn respawn limit 10 60 # 10 times in 60 seconds script user=mobinmob home=/home/$user cmd=/usr/bin/bitcoind pidfile=$home/bitcoind.pid # Don't change anything below here unless you know what you're doing [[ -e $pidfile && ! -d "/proc/$(cat $pidfile)" ]] && rm $pidfile [[ -e $pidfile && "$(cat /proc/$(cat $pidfile)/cmdline)" != $cmd* ]] && rm $pidfile exec start-stop-daemon --start -c $user --chdir $home --pidfile $pidfile --startas $cmd -b -m end script i have add it to /etc/init as bitcoind.conf i restart my server but again bitcoind was not running. The strange is that if i try to manual start it with this command sudo service bitcoind start it returns start: Job is already running: bitcoind but when i check it with bitcoin-cli getinfo the system say error: couldn't connect to server and i have again to start it manual or i have to stop the service and the again type sudo service bitcoind start. I dont know but bitcoind it seems that cant start before the login in the system or something like that. I cant find any other explanation :( Title: Re: Cant auto start Bitcoind on restart Post by: tl121 on August 05, 2015, 05:56:11 PM On my system bitcoind runs as user bitcoin group bitcoin. The file name is /etc/init/bitcoin.conf and its contents are:

2. then i have to create an upstart script and save it in /etc/init/ as runit.conf Quote description "runit" start on filesystem stop on shutdown respawn script exec runsvdir-start end script 3.then i have to create a new folder in /etc/svn and a run excetuble sudo mkdir /etc/sv/bitcoind/ cd /etc/sv/bitcoind/ sudo touch run sudo chmod +x run the run file must contain this #!/bin/sh exec chpst -u username -n 9 env HOME=/home/username bitcoind 4.then sysmlink this to etc service Quote sudo ln -s /etc/sv/bitcoind/ /etc/service/ 5. finally i have to start it :D sudo service runit start and it works fine :D A big thx to mobinmob http://www.insomnia.gr/topic/577198-script-%CE%B3%CE%B9%CE%B1-relaunch-%CF%80%CF%81%CE%BF%CE%B3%CF%81%CE%AC%CE%BC%CE%BC%CE%B1%CF%84%CE%BF%CF%82/page-6? |
