Title: Auto restart CGMiner under linux
Post by: Gazylion on May 01, 2013, 08:17:43 AM
Hi! I'm wondering if there is a way of automatically restarting cgminer after one of GPUs failure under linux, something like cgwatcher for windows would be great. Maybe some kind of script would do the job? I don't know linux scripting at all :( Does BAMT has some kind of tool for restarting cgminer if it fails?

Generally I find that on linux when a GPU fails. Said card is toast. (or I've been messing with stuff and manage to lock the machine up)

A GPU driver crash in linux requires a reboot.

Unless there is something that is specifically developed for Linux, like CGWatcher, I dont think there is a way for it to automatically restart its self.  BAMT doesnt have that, but it does have a configuration that will send you an email if you stop mining.  You can set it up to go to like a Gmail account, and then have it sent as an SMS to your phone so you get notification of when it goes down.
