The check will be run every hour. For more sophisticated checks, use a proper
monitor like [Monit](https://mmonit.com/monit/).
## Monitor script
The attached [monitor script](monitor-bitsquare-sn.cron.sh) can be used to
watch several seed nodes by connecting to them over Tor, and report by email
if there were any failed connection attempts. The script uses the ``torify``
and ``nc`` tools, so make sure that you have the ``tor`` and some ``netcat``
package installed in your system. Also make sure that it is able to send
messages using the ``mail`` utility.
To enable the monitor, first edit the script and set the email addresses you
want to report to in ``REPORT_TO_EMAILS``; if you want to specify the set of
seed nodes to check, change the value of ``SEED_NODES``. Then copy the script
to ``/etc/cron.hourly`` and make it executable:
# cp /path/to/monitor-bitsquare-sn.cron.sh /etc/cron.hourly/monitor-bitsquare-sn
# chmod a+rx /etc/cron.hourly/monitor-bitsquare-sn
Since this script requires no special permissions, you may instead want to run
it from a normal user's crontab (e.g. the ``bsqsn`` user above).
