After reboot peerbox-info cannot find ppcoind immediately - WARNING: ppcoind is not running!

[Thireus]

After reboot, peerbox-info takes a while to interface with ppcoind.

ppcoind is running, but peerbox-info can't find it.

[root@peerbox ~]# ps aux | grep ppcoind | grep -v grep

WARNING: ppcoind is not running!

ppcoind running also, checked with netstat.

After about 5 min peerbox-info is able to interface with it (can take more time sometimes).

This is normal behaviour, and not related to peerbox-info but to ppcoind. The same will happen if you try "ppcoind getinfo" just after starting the daemon. I guess that ppcoind does not start RPC server until everything else is ready.

[Thireus]

Ok that's what I thought too. Maybe a good idea would be to change this warning message. Because ppcoind was running ;).

Could you add a feature to check if ppcoind and RPC are ready? So that you can display a different warning message in the different cases.

[peerchemist]

So something like "PPCOIND is not ready" if it is running but no RPC?

[Thireus]

Yes. ppcoind is running but not ready yet.

[peerchemist]

Ok, I will try something. Can you please open new issue with this feature request?

[Thireus]

Done. Thanks :)
