Sure you can use cgwatcher or any other of the multiple cgminer monitor programs out there. Personally, I was a bit deterred to use cgwatcher seeing as the author hasn't published the source code. The other programs all required something to be installed on the machine (python, php, libraries/dependencies etc.). I wrote this program to use for my own needs using only the tools that recent versions of Windows provide by default.
Update regarding cgminer-keep-alive
This weekend I'll update the repo with some new features such as:
- Email - Send an email when cgminer craches (smtp server required).
- Simple statistics - number of cgminer/server restarts, cgminer/server uptime
- Better log monitoring - Check if log has been written to since the last cycle, otherwise restart cgminer
If you want to request a feature to be added or have discovered a bug, feel free to add an issue on the github.
EDIT: Unfortunately I didn't have time to implement any of those things and instead had to work on polishing up the existing code. Will update when the planned features are added.
