AVAX DENALI Tips #1- How to check how long an AVALANCHE node been running in linux ?

Hello Avalidators !

AVAX’s Denali testnet has been launhed!

Begins: June 1 at 12:00 am GMT (8:00 pm New York)
Ends: June 8 at 11:59 pm GMT (7:59 pm New York)

For the first challenge, you need to run a node and add a validator to the default subnet. ( You can check Collin Cusce’s guide here. )

You need to maintain a healthy, operational node for a minimum of 180 hours (50%) of the incentivized testnet to complete challenge III.

So, we can check how long a AVA’s Gecko client process has been running in linux.

burcusan@ava-ubuntu:~$ ps -eo etime,args | grep ava | grep -v grep
 1-02:03:22 ./build/ava

From “ps” man page:

etime       ELAPSED   elapsed time since the process was started, in the form [[DD-]hh:]mm:ss.

So in our case “1–02:03:22 ./build/ava” means, it has been exactly 1 day 2 hours 3 minutes and 22 seconds since we started AVA Gecko client “ava”.

Have fun! And let everyone know in Discord channel if you need assistance.
