Title: How to check status of bitcoind Post by: poet_imp on July 13, 2010, 05:08:01 AM I am running bitcoind under linux. I see it chewing up a lit of CPU time but the system is still responsive so I am assuming it is just keeping the box busy. However, I would like to check in on it occasionally to see how it is doing. When I run the bitcoin app it tells me that port 8333 is in use. Is there any way to check on what the daemon is up to?

Title: Re: How to check status of bitcoind Post by: nimnul on August 10, 2010, 05:40:39 PM There were a few patches (listtransactions etc) but I'm not sure whether they are in trunk.
Title: Re: How to check status of bitcoind Post by: torservers on August 31, 2010, 04:27:49 PM Any updates on this? I accept payments through Bitcoin sent to my server's IP, but how do I list the transactions and associated comments without a GUI?
Title: Re: How to check status of bitcoind Post by: BitLex on August 31, 2010, 05:31:58 PM never tried, so i'm not sure about
- listtransactions [count=10] [minconf=1] [includegenerated=true], 'bitcoind help' shows it, so i guess it'll work. you know that accepting payments sent to your IP isn't very secure, don't you? there's no authentication at all, anyone in between you and the sender might pretend to be you and grab your coins. why not use a (few) bitcoin-address(es) and call - getreceivedbyaddress <bitcoinaddress> [minconf=1] and/or - getreceivedbylabel <label> [minconf=1] instead? not much more work for the sender to copy a bitcoin-address, than it is to copy your IP, but coins are more likely to arrive.

"listtransactions" is not implemented in the bitcoind binary (0.3.11). Title: Re: How to check status of bitcoind Post by: jgarzik on August 31, 2010, 07:31:24 PM Thanks.

Correct, it's a patch (http://yyz.us/bitcoin/patch.bitcoin-listtransactions). See http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=611.0 |
