I'll be moving akbash away from cgminer/bfgminer APIs and poke ADL/driver directly to sense miner activity.
Crashes will be detected through debug events in addition to polling and enumerating of processes.

Little heads up: Poking ADL concurrently from two applications can and will lead to crashes.

I have a vbs script that calls CG-WD as a scheduled task at logon.

Quote

Set WinScriptHost = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WinScriptHost.Run Chr(34) & "C:\cgminer\cgminer-wdog\cgm-wdog.bat" & Chr(34), 0
Set WinScriptHost = Nothing

That hides the window. The cgminer.lnk also calls the same vbscript that hides the cgminer window.

So far working pretty good.

This looks pretty neat. How about programming in hooks so it can be run/installed as a service?

dropped you a couple coins. thanks.

That feature did not work for me. And I don't need throttling, but disabling the thread.

Yeah, pretty much...

I've read the cgminer thread and ckolivas acknowledged there have been some problems with the implementation of the thermal control feature, namely the stopping and restarting the mining thread... I guess it will be fixed in a couple of next commits, though.

This sound a bit like my temp monitor. I wrote it with cgminer's API in mind, killing the mining thread(process on failure) via the API should the GPU overheat. Saved me multiple times.

Doesn't cgminer throttle and shutdown the GPU on overheat itself?

"Throttle and shutdown".

cgminer has 3 temp values.
target - temps above target throttles clock
overheat - temps above overheat drops clock to minimum defined (or stock if not defined) and puts fan at 100%.
shutdown - cgminer idles GPU thread (shows as "REST" or "OFF").

Awesome. I have 33 gpus across 12 rigs all running cgminer. Anubis makes keeping an eye on them much easier, but this will minimize my downtime for when I am sleeping and working. I'll test this out this weekend.

Running Armory using the cold storage feature makes getting rootkitted a mere annoyance Wink

(not that I think there is any maliciousness here)

I have uploaded a new version 1.0.0.1. Added some cosmetic changes...

Next version will have the following features:

  - email notifications to be sent when triggers are met (enabled/disabled via config file)
  - integration of pool APIs into status page, showing balance BTC, stales, efficiency etc.
  - digital signature for the executable

nope

Interesting but as indicated no source = too risky.

This is not OK.

Also, add recording of the various parameters to a database like mysql or sqlite etc. Then I can read this data back and display it in Anubis as graphs

This is an interesting development but unless it is open-source (or until you build up rep) you may have trouble instilling enough trust/confidence to get much uptake.

Do you really expect someone to blindly run your program when, for all we know, it may be installing a rootkit, malware, a keylogger, deleting 'wallet.dat', or performing a 'format c:' operation?

I'm not suggesting this is the case, and I am sympathetic to your position, and I would love to try out your program, but this is the unfortunate reality of today's messed up world.
