Title: Bitcoind Turning Off?
Post by: theonewhowaskazu on December 03, 2013, 04:48:27 PM
I think Bitcoind is turning off due to inactivity, any way to prevent that from happening?

Never happened for me. Works like a charm.

What do you mean with that? Window is closing immediately after run? Try to describe your problem more, because I don't know where to search solution ;)

I run bitcoind -daemon on a server.

It will turn off after a random period of time, normally. I check back a while later (like 12 hours or something), and its off.
But if I turn in a cronjob, like just bitcoind getbalance or something, it doesn't seem to turn off ever. Been running like that fine for almost a week now.

Just wondering if there's any way other than a cronjob, that seems like an odd solution.

Which version are you using? bitcoind used to have a memory leak and when the system ran out of memory bitcoind would be shut down by the kernel. You can probably find messages pertaining to OOM problems in the log files.
