Multiple MN on one VPS:

It is now possible to run multiple Pentanode Master Nodes on the same VPS. Each MN will run under a different user you will choose during installation.

---

Usage:

For security reasons Pentanode is installed under a normal user, usually pentanode, hence you need to su - pentanode before checking:

PENTAUSER=pentanode #replace pentanode with the MN username you want to check  
su - $PENTAUSER
PentaNoded masternode status  
PentaNoded getinfo

Also, if you want to check/start/stop pentanode daemon for a particular MN, run one of the following commands as root:

PENTAUSER=pentanode  #replace pentanode with the MN username you want to check  
systemctl status $PENTAUSER #To check the service is running  
systemctl start $PENTAUSER #To start PentaNoded service  
systemctl stop $PENTAUSER #To stop PentaNoded service  
systemctl is-enabled $PENTAUSER #To check PentaNoded service is enabled on boot  

---

Wallet re-sync

If you need to resync the wallet, run the following commands as root:

PENTAUSER=pentanode  #replace pentanode with the MN username you want to resync
systemctl stop $PENTAUSER
rm -r /home/$PENTAUSER/.PentaNoded/{banlist.dat,blk0001.dat,database,db.log,mncache.dat,peers.dat,smsgDB,smsg.ini,txleveldb}
systemctl start $PENTAUSER
