HOW TO RUN A SECOND NODE??

[n3rvi0zz0]

I have a question , may you guys can guide me 

I have a node that works with almost no problems , occasionally bitcoin daemon stops working.
 I would like to open a second node, which became operational only when the first process to stop working .

Any ideas? I think the pools use this system .


Anyone have a script to go by checking if the demon of BTC is working? and if not will run the backup

Thanks

I don't think this is possible , unless you make a program that watch the process , and once it's closed it open another one . that shouldn't be hard to do if you have some programming knowledge (making your own application) .

You could try something like monit to monitor it and restart it when needed.

If you mean a completely new server, that would be somewhat more complicated, but probably something like AWS' tools would be helpful, depending on your host.

It is not possible. You need to use a second server to run a node. Probaly you could try to change to port for the second node.

You can do this with some programming. Supposing you know some PHP f.e. here's what you do.

Setup both nodes and run a monotoring script on both of them (emails /sms)

Give the config file write rights, so if the main node stops working you can activate the 2nd node in your script.
You will need a os with cronjob support for this.

cant you just make a script that checks every now and again that the deamon is still running? if it isn't it just re launches it.
