6. Auto-start and monitoring
- 1.Auto-start your baker when the computer reboots due to maintenance, power outage, etc with systemd.
- 2.Automatically restart crashed tezos-[node|baker|endorser|accuser] processes
- 3.Maximize your baker up-time and performance at making rolls and endorsements.
Before starting, ensure all tezos processes are stopped. Check with:
ps -ef | grep tezos
If there are tezos processes, type
kill <pid>
where <pid> is the process ID number, the first # in the
ps output.#example ps output, the pid is 23311 username 23311 121 6 11:22 ? 11:22:33 /home/username/tezos/tezos-node run
Prepare by saving your Ubuntu username and changing to SU/root.
cd
whoami > myusername
sudo su
Enter your SU/root password.

Make sure your ledger account name is correct on the ExecStart line. i.e.

The following command updates the files with your Ubuntu username.
for f in /etc/systemd/system/tezos-*.service ; do
myUsernamevar=$(cat myusername)
sed -i.bak "s/replaceUsername/$myUsernamevar/g" "$f"
done
rm myusername
Run the following to enable the services.
sudo systemctl enable tezos-node.service
sudo systemctl enable tezos-baker.service
sudo systemctl enable tezos-endorser.service
sudo systemctl enable tezos-accuser.service
Type your su/root password, if needed.
Finally, start the services. The following single command will start all child processes, which are the baker, endorser, and accuser, because of binding settings.
sudo systemctl reload-or-restart tezos-node.service
Nice work. Your baker is now managed by the reliability and robustness of systemd.
Create a new terminal for each journalctl and you can view each log simultaneously.
journalctl --follow --unit=tezos-node.service
journalctl --follow --unit=tezos-baker.service
journalctl --follow --unit=tezos-endorser.service
journalctl --follow --unit=tezos-accuser.service
sudo systemctl status 'tezos-*.service'
sudo systemctl reload-or-restart tezos-node.service
sudo systemctl reload-or-restart tezos-node.service
sudo systemctl reload-or-restart tezos-endorser.service
sudo systemctl reload-or-restart tezos-accuser.service
sudo systemctl reload-or-restart tezos-baker.service
sudo systemctl stop tezos-node.service
sudo systemctl stop tezos-baker.service
sudo systemctl stop tezos-endorser.service
sudo systemctl stop tezos-accuser.service
journalctl --unit=tezos-endorser.service --since=yesterday
journalctl --unit=tezos-endorser.service --since=today
journalctl --unit=tezos-endorser.service --since='2019-01-01 00:00:00' --until='2019-01-02 12:00:00'
If you edit any of the above .service files, you to notify systemd of your new changes by reloading the new configuration by running the following:
systemctl daemon-reload
If you modify the
[Install] section, you must reenable the service.sudo systemctl reenable SERVICEFILENAME
