CLI Cheatsheet

Chain ID: sidechain-testnet-4 | Current Node Version: v0.9.5

This cheatsheet collects commonly used CLI commands for node operators to easily copy and paste. A few conventions we follow:

  • Capitalized words indicate placeholders
  • Always use our own [NODERS]TEAM RPC endpoints
  • Always specify --chain-id and --node flags even when they are unnecessary
  • Query CLI command always uses --output json flag and pipes result through jq

Maintenance

Get validator info

sided status 2>&1 | jq .ValidatorInfo

Get sync info

sided status 2>&1 | jq .SyncInfo

echo $(sided tendermint show-node-id)'@'$(curl -s ifconfig.me)':'$(cat ~/.side/config/config.toml | sed -n '/Address to listen for incoming connection/{n;p;}' | sed 's/.*://; s/".*//')

Check if validator key is correct

[[ $(sided q staking validator $(sided keys show KEY --bech val -a) -oj | jq -r .consensus_pubkey.key) = $(sided status | jq -r .ValidatorInfo.PubKey.value) ]] && echo -e "\n\e[1m\e[32mTrue\e[0m\n" || echo -e "\n\e[1m\e[31mFalse\e[0m\n"
