cgmon - mining monitor for Linux - auto restart, reboot, sick gpu, ASIC, &more

I have started using both cgminer and sgminer on BAMT. Obviously I don't run them at the same time but I do tend to change every couple of days.

Is there a way to have cgmon look for either a cgminer instance or an sgminer instance instead of having to change the path and name every time I want to change what miner I'm using?

If not it is no big deal it's just kind of tedious to change the settings in bamt and then change then rename the cgmon files. I have one cgmon_sg.tcl and one sgmon_cg.tcl that I rename to cgmon.tcl depending on which version is needed.

Thanks!

Sure.  Add this code:

Code:

if {$argv == "sgminer"} {
set conf(cgminer_exec) "sgminer"
set conf(cgminer_path) ""
set conf(miner_requires_scrypt_flag) "no"

}

near the bottom of cgmon.tcl, just above this line:

Code:

# start

Then, when you run cgmon.tcl you would use either './cgmon.tcl' or './cgmon.tcl sgminer' to run sgminer with your settings.  Adjust accordingly for your path to cgmon.tcl.

Yes. I've tested it with a GAW black widow and it works.  There was a temporary problem when the GAW miner was reporting a SICK ASIC, but I haven't been able to reproduce it.  That was 6 days ago and it's been fine since.

I don't have any gridseeds to test with, but it should work.

Thanks for confirming that for me.  I didn't want to put a lot of effort into trying to get it running only to find out it's for GPU rigs only.  I'll play with it over the next few days and see how it works.

Thanks, again...

Regards,

Chris

The first post in this thread and also the top of cgmon.tcl has step-by-step instructions.
