Title: Simple script to restart my miner
Post by: c0ikws on April 08, 2013, 10:00:21 PM
Once in a while, my mining stops for no reason ! What an annoyance to see I've not been mining the whole night !

This batch file restart my miner every hour (Guiminer set to autostart)


:loop
sleep 3600
Taskkill /IM guiminer.exe /F
start E:\Guiminer\guiminer\guiminer.exe
echo GuiMiner Restarted
goto loop


If you want to use it, create text file and paste. Change to your path of your guiminer.exe. Save and rename as .bat. Start ! Voila

one problem.. sleep is not an actual command for batch files..

if you want to sleep you will have to get more creative. Like pinging a non existant location and timeing out for a certain amount of time. This will pause for 1 minute.

ping 192.0.2.2 -n 1 -w 60000 > nul
