Now create `/home/sol/bin/validator.sh` to include the desired

start the validator process (i.e. "exec solana-validator ..."). This is
important because without it, logrotate will end up killing the validator
every time the logs are rotated.

As mentioned earlier, be sure that if you use logrotate, any script you create
which starts the solana validator process uses "exec" to do so (example: "exec
solana-validator ..."); otherwise, when logrotate sends its signal to the

it.
### Disable port checks to speed up restarts
Once your validator is operating normally, you can reduce the time it takes to
