Can you remote start masternodes? I'm having to occasionally do this and its annoying as I keep the priv keys on a offline cold wallet.

If your MN was offline more than an hour you have to start it from your local.
You can use crontab to check if deamon is running.

Copy code below and paste into mn_watch.sh file.
Type nano mn_watch.sh, paste with right click, and control x, y, enter to save. Change dashuser to your user name.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#run with: screen -dm /mn_watch.sh
#stop with: screen -ls to find number and screen -X -S 11111 kill
while true; do
if [ -z `pidof dashd` ]; then
echo Dashd is not running trying to start
/home/dashuser/dashd
sleep 600
else
echo Dashd is Running
sleep 600
fi
done

type:
chmod +x mn_watch.sh

apt-get install screen

type:
screen -dm /mn_watch.sh

I'm not sure if dashman is doing that, great tool. Thanks moocowmoo btw

eek. So nothing for windows machine? I'm using Splawik service to manage my mn's. It would be kind of cool is someone had a tool made that alerted me when one of my MN's went down. is there such a thing?

Use uptimerobot.com to your node address and listen on port 9999. You'll get an email when it goes down and comes back up.

Thanks Oblox. Splawik has that end all dialed in for me as part of his service. One of the issues is that as a MN owner...I'd love to know when any one of my MN's go down...Splawik is great at letting me know right away...but I'd like to be able to have a tool that sends me a message to say my smartphone to notify me. What I was asking to start this....can I remote start-alias a cold wallet, I realize this may seem like a stupid questions, but is there such a thing as a virtual instance of a cold wallet? The deal is I'm at remote locations often and I'm not carrying my cold wallet with me...for example when I'm travelling. I've had this happen several times and I'm not able to get to that cold wallet for 2 weeks, missing my payment.

this brings me to an interesting though I had the other day...has anyone tried running a Masternode off of a smartphone? I have a Samsung Note 3 and Note 2 and a couple of high end tablets.... I mean most of these new smartphones/tablets are pretty powerful. I have them sitting around doing nothing. thoughts?
