Jormungandr Node Monitor

#
# This script monitors a Jormungandr node for "liveness" and executes a shutdown if the node is determined
# to be "stuck". A node is "stuck" if the time elapsed since last block exceeds the sync tolerance 
# threshold. The script does NOT perform a restart on the Jormungandr node. Instead we rely on process 
# managers such as systemd to perform restarts.

Hey. There really isn’t anything special required to run this as a service. If you can run it manually then it should run just fine as a service also.

Hi, Now I can run the script as well with linux service and I solved it by adding in the script the path to the jcli (my changes are yellow) :

you'd be better off with this:

JCLI="$(which jcli)"
[ -z "${JCLI}" ] && [ -f jcli ] && JCLI="./jcli"

it checks the binaries in your $PATH and if it fails, it looks in the current directory.
