Title: How to run a bitcoin server with automatic restart and backup? Post by: Abrosim Adderiy on April 22, 2013, 08:47:04 AM What would be the best way to start writing a script to automatically run a bitcoind server on an Ubuntu startup, make regular backups and restart from a backup on error. Would this normally be done through a cron job?

Ubuntu has crontab support, it won't be hard setting up startup and backup scripts with that command. How's your scripting skill?

Would this normally be done through a cron job? I use pretty much the same sort of setup on windows. I know the drivers crash occasionally, so I have a sheduled task setup to reboot the machine every 24 hours. at reboot, I just start the miner & off we go! this could be easily accomplished with a cronjob in ubuntu as well... the 'on error' part may prove a bit difficult. if you're experianced in this sort of stuff, you could try to write a (shell) script that polls the miners' API (if your miner supports it) and check for reduced hash rate for example.
