git pull in sentinel folder. no restart needed

thanks, for those that are wondering what this means :

cd .dashcore
cd sentinel
git pull

No restart from cold wallet necessary !
No restart of dashd necessary !

quote from flare :

Technically the nodes are not down, they just failed to vote on a watchdog object.
As a sidenote: Dash 12.2 will not have watchdogs anymore, they are deprecated.

quote from nmarley :

Note: This is required or your Masternode will go offline!
(edit: Apparently w/spork 14 off this isn't enforce, so crisis averted!)

Update : looks like there is a time window after all, masternode owners have 180 minutes to issue a git pull to fix sentinel manually.

Dash Central gave a false warning in the end that my masternodes were disabled, while in fact they are working fine according dashninja.pl and according IP grep (shows ENABLED).
I tried removing my masternodes and re-adding them in Dash Central, but they are now all stuck at status "checking".

For some reason sentinel wasn't executable anymore so I made it executable and tried to run it. I got "[error] missing dependencies" So I tried "venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt" and every line says "already satisfied".

edit: I did ./sentinel for some reason. When I do ./venv/bin/python bin/sentinel.py I still get no output.

Sentinel should not be executed, it must be interpreted in a virtual environment. If you run /venv/bin/python bin/sentinel.py and get no output, then everything is working perfectly and your masternode is alive, online and recognised by the network.

Even if list full | grep returns WATCHDOG_EXPIRED?

Did you do a git pull for sentinel ? The git pull updates sentinel to 1.0.2
and includes a hotfix for the watchdog expired issue.

Also make sure you have the cronjob for sentinel running...
