config. On a restart I don't want to log in and do manual startup stuff. I know it's a script but I wrote something and didn't work straight away.

I'm running Xubuntu with cgminer in the home folder in a cgminer folder. config file is in the correct folder so cgminer knows where to get it.

Basically it's a script I need to run it in byobu and the script needs to run on startup. Note I'm using the GUI for the machine but it's not really required as I'll be using SSH from now on.

Thanks.

***ninja'd :D

If you are using a cgminer .conf file, the changes are here

*********

Here is my blatant rip off of miaviator's code for our scrypt rigs using user miner, and mine.sh as the launch script, with cgminer binary in /home/miner/cgminer ... modify as necessary.

Code:

I just moved for mining with Windows XP to Xubuntu 13.10 I was using BFGminer 3.9.0 on Windows and am now using it on Xubuntu too. I moved to achieve better reliability and less reboots.

I have not yet set up an auto start script, but hope to today. I am seeing about a 3% increase in hashing speed after moving to Linux.
