a restart script in linux? not sure about windows.

I am on win7, ?? What do I do...

in win 7 you can do a script type autobatch file which starts when PC power is on again. Put that .bat file to autostart and you are ok!
google for win 7 batch file procedure.

In windows 7, you can create a batch file with the .bat ending.  This batch file will be your reboot PC. To restart your computer from a batch file, you would put this in the batch file:

shutdown /r

Once you have a batch file that you can run and it restarts your PC, you would then add this batch file to the Task Scheduler in Windows 7 control panel. The Task scheduler is under the Administrative tools.  you can set the batch file to run every hour.

Once the computer restarts itself every hour, you can put your guiminer shortcut in the startup folder with autostart on your pool.

Nothing like a good old reboot on a Windows machine.

There has to be a better way than rebooting windows entirely...
Is there not something that can watch GPU temp and if it goes below a certain threshold then it restarts the hasher?

This is actually the method that I use for some dedicated Windows XP miners.  I got tired of resetting the connection if there was a connection problem on my end, or if the pool had a problem. I just could not find a way to reset the guiminer or poclbm (command line miner) when a connection error happened.

Plus, a reboot of windows never hurts.  This would only work on a dedicated miner.  I guess if you are using it for other things, it would suck to have a reboot once an hour.
