Staking & Delegation Setup a Stake Pool

so at least you can check the service status…
sudo systemctl status <name>
but it also worth to set logging to able to have something next time…

  • cnode-tu-restart.timer : schedules the cardano-node restart service, default every 24h
25

so, isn’t that ok? lol :joy:

26

how can I disable this thing?

27

sudo systemctl stop cnode-tu-restart.timer
sudo systemctl disable cnode-tu-restart.timer

sudo systemctl status cnode-tu-restart.timer

But it is recommended to restart the Relay for keeping the topology fresh

Ahh, I always forget this behavior of the cntools…

Actually is from topology updater script when u run as systemd

These are the services

  • cnode-tu-push.service : pushes a node alive message to Topology Updater API
  • cnode-tu-push.timer : schedules the push service to execute once every hour
  • cnode-tu-fetch.service : fetches a fresh topology file before cnode.service file is started/restarted
  • cnode-tu-restart.service : handles the restart of cardano-node(cnode.sh)
  • cnode-tu-restart.timer : schedules the cardano-node restart service, default every 24h

ok if there’s by chance a place where can I set the interval of restart bigger than 24h please let me know but at this point I understand its the part of the solution I choose follow.
solution is accepted.
thank you very much for the time.

When u deploy the relay ./deploy-as-systemd.sh after u will press Y for topology updater u will see 86400seconds (default for 24h)
There u can modify the interval

PS: I am restarting my relays once/12 hours
