Hi guys need help how can automaticly ccminer restart if the miner stops is there a program or a comand to control that?

Thx in advance

if you are using windows - miner control seems to be perfect for that ... i dont have a windows machine - but that is one of the packages you can use ...

have a look at the article here - http://cryptomining-blog.com/5256-updated-miner-control-1-6-4-software-kbomba-edition/ ... and the latest source here - https://github.com/KBomba/MinerControl/ ...

if you are on linux ( which i am ) then it is a little more complex - but can be done ...

Since t-nelson fix for ccminer CTRL-C stop without error, I believe that You can use Crypto miners in Tray
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149442.0
Not as easy to setup like Cgwatcher, but can be done.

On my Win10 system, MSI Afterburner has memory leaking issue.  After 2 weeks of continuous run in the background, it ate up about 1.7GB of RAM and refused to launch, throwing out "Out of memory" error.  So I have to kill it and relaunch it once every 2 weeks.

uninstall win10.
mining with win10 isn't a good idea performance are lower

I upgraded from Win8.1, didn't feel the hit in performance yet. 

it doesn't really matter if you have 750ti, it however starts to matter with the 980

I'm running 980.  How much do I lose?

depending on the algo, you might lose up to 25%

Have one of my machines using W10 and 970s, I haven't noticed this. Perhaps install newer drivers? Also disable automatic driver install.

Also haven't noticed the Afterburner memory leak. Miner has been up for about a week and a half and is using 6MB of memory in Afterburner.

[...]
Yeah, I use it on occasion. Setting the clocks isn't the bad part of afterburner, it's trying to monitor all the GPUs easily.
[...]
I know Multiminer had built in stats for some things last time I used it, although that's AMD only. Wonder why there isn't a UI mod for some of these programs that just makes a nice grid out of everything.

This is the monitor, grid-style, on Nvidia Inspector. You can fully customize what is on display, launch the monitor from a command line or batch file, save settings as needed. Are you looking for something else?

Weird never knew Inspector had that built in. Just found the button, thanks. Still would be great if there were a easier way to control all of this. Just means I'll have Inspector open as well as Afterburner for tweaking.

you can monitor with msi ab. It is possible to get an independent windows with all the graph you want to monitor (the size is adjustable, and it is possible to change the order of the grpah from the setting tab)

Yeah, you still need to scroll through the list. I didn't know you could reorganize the graphs, I knew you could turn them off though. Grids or tables FTW.

actually I tried to instal win10 twice with the latest drivers at that time, and there were problems with mem hard algo (neoscrypt and lyra). Now with privacy issues, I am not even sure that I will install win10 (I really don't agree with the term of the licence and I don't do anything unlawful)

Regarding msi ab, you don't have to scroll you can enlarge the windows (click "detach" to get the monitoring windows) I watch 4gpu at the same time it all fit in a rather large windows which occupy 1/3 of my second monitor...)

The easiest (and dirtiest) way is to have your miner batch file run in a loop:
:start
ccminer.exe ...
goto start

and have another batch loop running which restarts ccminer periodically:
:start
timeout -t 1800
taskkill -t -f /im ccminer.exe
goto start

That will restart ccminer every 1800 seconds (30 minutes).

Yeah, I think I'm going to use win7 until the end of times.

will wait for the NSA edition...  
(hope they get sued (again...   ) so they change that thing... seriously the terms of licence allows to almost spy into the hdd of their competitors or US competitors for that matter, (if they are asked to...) yeah right... US spies are really getting lazy nowadays...)

edit: now we understand why they are releasing it for free (already paid or it will paid itself... )

well - microsoft have ALWAYS been data hoarders - and sell off the info ... so no secret or surprise there ...

and windows 10 is NOT free djm ... its a free UPGRADE only ...

the way they market is still amazing - as they make people believe their product is what its not ... and free it certainly isnt ... or reliable for that matter - let alone secure now ...

what a bloody farce ...

linux for me ... all the way ... i dont care that i get a little less than everyone else in hashrate due to oc ... that will come soon ...

btw - with windows 10 - you already HAVE the nsa edition ...

That's beautiful... If only a program like MultiMiner was compatible with CCminer... Last I checked it was because CCminer doesn't have a API so other programs can't hook into it.

Wouldn't the first batchfile continually start up lots of instances of ccminer as there isn't a timer and it's a loop? Does it check to see if one instance is running?

By default batch files will wait until the previous action has ended or in this case application closes.

You would need to use the start command in front of ccminer.exe to launch it without waiting for it to end which would probably lock your PC within seconds.

This is what I use:

set app=ccminer.exe
set algo=quark
set address=stratum+tcp://xxxx:port#
set user1=xxx.x1    (your username and workername for the pool)
set user2=xxx.x2
set password=x     (your worker password)
:start
  start "gpu0" /min %app% -a %algo% -s 1 -d 0 -i 19 -R 3 -o %address% -u %user1% -p %password%
  start "gpu1" /min %app% -a %algo% -s 1 -d 1 -i 19 -R 3 -o %address% -u %user2% -p %password%
  timeout 600 /nobreak
  taskkill /im %app% /f
goto start



It will autokill and restart every 10 minutes.  Very handy for those pools that have a vardiff that doesn't play nice.

I've seen batchfiles with variables before, not sure why you'd do that. There really isn't that much code. I guess you have two different launch files. Everything else is cool. Would be great to be able to use one batchfile instead of two.

I have some stability problems with two of my "leftovers" nvidia rigs.
One of them are powering down the whole system after mining for a couple of hours and the other one is ccminer just crashing on randomly.

I have identical hardware in all my the rigs (NVIDIA/AMD), mobos, cpu, ram, risers and psus.

In one rig i have one EVGA FTW 750Ti and the other rig i have one EVGA SC 750Ti + Gigabyte Windforce 750Ti.
The one powering down is the rig with two cards.

At the same time i have two rigs running five 750Ti:s each at 36Mhs Quark totally stable for weeks.

This is really annoying because they are also crashing with stock settings on the gpu:s. Temps are really low also so i dont get this.

All systems have fresh Win 8.1 installations.
I am running the 355.60 Driver on all rigs and i am using the 61 build due to best performance for me with that one.

Anyone have a clue what could be the problem ?
Can i find logs from ccminer somewhere ?

Also having massive rejected speed at NiceHash from time to time:

Start swapping hardware one component at a time between a good rig and a bad rig until the good rig goes bad
and the bad rig goes good. Then you've identified the faulty component.
Some more info would be helpfull. Is there any error message when ccminer crashes? Can mining be resumed or
does the system need a reboot?

Here's something that can be added to a bat file to check for a crash.

tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq ccminer.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "%1">NUL
if "%ERRORLEVEL%" NEQ "0" goto restart_ccminer_becauuse_it_died

I will take a screenshot next time ccminer stop mining, cant remember what it say when it happends.
If i just close the miner and start it up again i will get really bad hashrate. So a reboot is needed after every "crash"

I have been testing replacing some hardware like psu and ram but still the same problems with these two rigs. I am starting to think that these gpu:s are someway faulty. All these three cards are used cards that i have been buying lately.

[pallas]

Not sure it's related, but during the last week/couple weeks I, at times, get 1/4 hashrate from every card, on ccminer restart.
Never happened before.
It could be due to the driver, the kernel or whatever; or it could be some recent modification to ccminer...

I would suggest swapping the graphics card to check if it makes any different.
And I have been mining with release 66, so far is stable for me.
