How can I know my Payment queue position

[agulab]

Hello, I'm using DashCentral to see my masternode Payment queue position, but it varies too much. On each F5 I see I'm in position 371, then 369, then 0, then 444, then 371 again...
I see some positions repeat, so I assume my masternode is more or less in position 370.

The thing is I started to wonder how I could ask my masternode directly in which position it is in the queue, and can't find the command to do it.
There must be a way, since DashCentral gets that info somehow...

can someone help me find the right command por that?

Thanks!

There is a tool by moocowmoo that will show you your queue position. His github project is called dashman.

I've stolen his queue calculation for my own script:

#!/bin/bash

#shows ranks of your masternodes defined in ~/.dashcore/masternodes.conf
#or shows ranks of masternodes specified as arguments. 

function cache_output(){
  # cached output
  FILE=$1
  # command to cache
  CMD=$2
  OLD=0
  CONTENTS=""
  # is cache older than 1 minute?
  if [ -e $FILE ]; then
      OLD=$(find $FILE -mmin +1 -ls | wc -l)
      CONTENTS=$(cat $FILE);
  fi
  # is cache empty or older than 1 minute? rebuild
  if [ -z "$CONTENTS" ] || [ "$OLD" -gt 0 ]; then
    CONTENTS=$(eval $CMD)
    echo "$CONTENTS" > $FILE
  fi
  echo "$CONTENTS"
}

        if ( xxx >= $6) {

  echo $m $rank $((100*${rank#* }))\%

sorry I'd link you to moocowmoo's code.. but I can't post links yet.

Thanks ender_x
I've been hearing too much of dashman, and have been using moocow Slack bot recently to get the real queue position since yesterday, so I'll proceed to install dashman on my mastrenode today.
Thanks for the info!
