Why dont you just set a periodic ping to your miner (assuming IP exists)
If no ping, shutdown.

Check out Akbash? It will monitor CGMiner, and if it's crashed, or if you hashrate drops below a certain point, it will close and restart CGMiner. If it does this 3 times, it will reboot your PC. Also sends email alerts when it does this.

cool, sounds like the cure. hope it works with bfgminer! thanks for the tip!

1) Find out what time it shuts down the most

2) Set alarm for that time to wake up and reset the miner

Also if your at work, you can shut it off automatically by using the automated shut off to specify what time you want it off when the miner mostly shuts off.

thanks, but the times seem really random. eg didnt happen yesterday at all, day before 440am, day before 1030am etc
