NXT for Linux Instructions (Ubuntu)

[bizz]

i have problems getting 0.3.18 working....

0.3.16 working fine in linux



0.3.18....after first start i try CTRL-C (but not working!!!)
On first CTRL-C it should write new blockchain.nrs format!
But i doesn't....

any help? i am back to 0.3.16 now!

I upgraded by deleting everything in nxt folder and downloading nxt.zip & nxtfiles.zip. No issues on 12.04.

How would you witches  suggest to solve the following with a batch script set to run in cron every minute:

- check if NXT client is working nicely (with a get request to one of the API calls)
- parse the output to verify the functioning (would seeing some balance be enough? Probably not, been unable to send payment despite visible balance)
- if output from API is not valid, check if client is running in system
- if running, kill it gracefully and and check until killed
- when not running, start client in the background

Thanks a lot!

Damn Graviton, throwing down the gauntlet today!

I'm gonna play with this, but I wonder if someone Pearl or Python magician has an idea.

Edit:
CfB just posted this in the windows thread. It might be helpful:

I'm looking at using God to do something similar. http://godrb.com

Could you post here or privately if you come up with any usable solution?

I would think it's simple to attain through a relatively straightforward shell script, but then maybe not.

Yes, I'll work on the basics today.
