Title: Running cgminer as a service of some sort Post by: jashie on October 12, 2018, 03:24:46 PM I have a Linux box and first of all, my Linux skills, I would consider to be basic. I have had some exposure to the terminal and sudo… Currently my Linux box sits idle (normally without a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc.) for a different purpose but it is underutilized so, I started running CGminer for a USB miner through a terminal session. However, every time there is a power outage, I have to manually re-login to the box and execute the terminal session, enter the command line and minimize. It would be nice if when my Linux box reboots, it re-establishes the CGminer application either as a service, auto login, or something… Are there any suggestions?
Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS Release: 14.04 Codename: trusty Title: Re: Running cgminer as a service of some sort Post by: AdolfinWolf on October 12, 2018, 03:56:05 PM I have a Linux box and first of all, my Linux skills, I would consider to be basic.

Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS Release: 14.04 Codename: trusty You'll need to write some sort of script for that probably. There are a lot of resources about this online, but they all seem a bit outdated maybe. Something like this? https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/156559 Quote put the following code into : /etc/init.d/rc.local: Code: /home/pi/cgminer-4.5.0/cgminer -o http://xxxxxxxxxxx -u xxxxxxxx -p xxxxxxxxxx Obviously the version numbers etc are all outdated, paths are not correct for ubuntu, but i'm pretty sure handling it this way should work. -- It's worth a try. Or some of these scripts? https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoinmining/comments/20c894/cgminer_startup_script_for_xubuntu/ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=51622.msg761722#msg761722 |
