Keep-Alive Script - Changelog

v2.0 (2026-03-14) - Production Release

Major Improvements

  • ✅ PID File Tracking – Reliable detection of running process (avoids PID reuse edge cases)
  • ✅ Health Checks – Uses kill -0 to verify process is actually alive, not just checking pgrep
  • ✅ Log Rotation – Automatic size-based rotation at 10MB with 3-version backups
  • ✅ Clean Venv Isolation – Subshell activation prevents environment variable pollution
  • ✅ Stale Process Cleanup – Kills orphaned bot processes before restart attempt
  • ✅ Comprehensive Logging – Timestamped entries with log level indicators
  • ✅ Cross-Platform – macOS and Linux compatible (stat flag detection)

Deployment

  • Removed duplicate cronjobs (d8a1579abc39, 5493654982b4)
  • Installed new cronjob: 1de383971302 (every 1m, recurring)
  • Created KEEP_ALIVE_README.md documentation

Key Changes from Template

- TEMPLATE: simple pgrep-only check
+ v2.0: PID file + kill -0 health check + pgrep fallback

- TEMPLATE: sourced venv in main shell
+ v2.0: subshell venv isolation

- TEMPLATE: no log rotation
+ v2.0: automatic 10MB rotation with backups

- TEMPLATE: no error context
+ v2.0: comprehensive error logging with bot.log tail dump

Testing Verified

✅ Script executes successfully ✅ Bot detected (PID: 4033701) ✅ Logs created and rotated correctly ✅ Cron job scheduled and operational

v1.0 (Earlier) - Initial Implementation

  • Basic process check with pgrep
  • Simple restart with nohup
  • Manual logging to keep-alive.log
