Migrate to Cosmovisor for Running 0gchaind

Steps to Migrate

Step 3: Confirm the Path of 0gchaind

Use the whereis command to confirm the path of your 0gchaind binary: whereis 0gchaind If the path returned by whereis 0gchaind is different from the path you are currently using to run 0gchaind, modify the script to use the current path. Open the script and replace the 0gchaind path with your current path.
