Let aMule restart on KAD disconnect

From AMule Project FAQ
Jump to: navigation, search

This HOWTO assumes that you have a working /etc/init.d/amuled script.

Put this in a file:

#!/bin/sh

if [[ `LC_ALL="C" amulecmd -P YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE -c status | grep 'Kad: Connected (ok)' | wc -l` != "1" ]]; then
        /etc/init.d/amuled restart
fi

Add this to your crontab (crontab -e):

*/30 * * * * PATH_TO_SCRIPT

This will check your amuled half-hourly and checks wether KAD is still running and if not restarts it.

I made this script, because I experienced often KAD disconnects.
