Restart Script

Start the IPFS Daemon as background - the application will wait for the script to exit

Example Script (with screen):

SCREEN="ipfs"
screen -X -S $SCREEN quit 2> /dev/null > /dev/null #kill if running
waitforstop() {
  screen -S $SCREEN -X alive 2> /dev/null > /dev/null
  if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    echo -n "."
    sleep .25s
    waitforstop $1
  else
    sleep .5s
  fi
}
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
  echo -n "stopping..."
  waitforstop $SCREEN
  echo "ok"
fi
which ipfs 2> /dev/null > /dev/null
if ! [ $? -eq 0 ]; then export PATH="/usr/local/bin/:$PATH"; fi #fix missing PATH location
echo -n "restarting..."
screen -dmS $SCREEN ipfs daemon #start
waitfor() {
  screen -S $SCREEN -X alive 2> /dev/null > /dev/null
  if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
    echo "failed!"
    exit 2
  fi
  curl $1  --connect-timeout 1 -m 1 -s 2>/dev/null > /dev/null #try to load webui
  if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
  echo -n "."
    sleep .25s
    waitfor $1
  else
    echo "ok"
    exit 0
  fi
}
waitfor "localhost:5001/webui"
