I am using Bamt 1.3 and sgminer and have a couple of questions.

1) I am using the cgminer.conf file in /etc/bamt with all my config settings (MUCH easier than command line entries...). Can cgmon.tcl use this .conf file rather than parroting the entire contents out as command line entries in cgmon.tcl?
Also when I tweak the config, I would prefer to not have to change it in the cgmon.tcl as well.

Try

Code:

set cgminer_gpu_options "-c /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf"

and left pool settings blank in cgmon.tcl

Quote

2) I think it was mentioned in the thread (but not sure I understood how to implement) that a reboot is the preferred remedy for a low hashrate or a dead/sick GPU. How can I easily set this up? I have found (as mentioned) that restarting gminer does not correct the issue and I almost always reboot.

Thanks!

1: low hashrate don't think so, dead/sick, change nothing,it's automatically.
2:never restart cgminer,only quit and wait cgmon.tcl restart it or run cgmon.tcl manually.

How is it possible to change the pool without rebooting the PC?
If I change in tcl file the main pool what should I do next?

I make the changes I want in cgmon.tcl and then I do this:

Code:

screen -r
q
./cgmon.tcl

Found almost the same problem，if i changed cgminer.conf then press s-c-y to restart cgminer
cgmon.tcl will reboot the pc and log shows

Quote

GPU 0 no accepted shares in 540 seconds. GPU probably hung.

solution is same，press q to quit cgminer instead of press s-c-y to restart cgminer

Do you see the broadcast message saying its about to be rebooted? Do you get emails saying the GPU is hung/dead/sick and the script is going to reboot?

Whats up Jdape badass script so far. Im having a problem that I hope you can address.

1.) ubuntu 13.04 machine never reboots for any of the variables that you provide. The reboot command appears to be broken. ive done several rounds of testing to see if the command ever invokes, unplugging network cable, over clocking card until it hangs but it doesnt appear to ever happen.

Any help?

'Q' : quit sgminer/cgmin
Change the server in cgmon.tcl.
Save and relaunch is with sudo ./cgmon.tcl

I've seen that. I'm referring to the part where cgmon actually starts cgminer when it says it wasn't running. Instead of the cgmon script starting cgminer, I'd like it to reboot the computer. If I knew where to look I would replace the start command with the reboot procedure reference.

I know how to disable the e-mail notification, but I'm not too familiar with coding. What is the start command I should be looking for to change to "reboot"?

That would be this reboot routine:

proc reboot {} {

   after 10000
   exec /sbin/shutdown -r now
   exec shutdown -r now

   # and in case that didn't work...
   # (BAMT)
   after 5000
   exec reboot -f
}

What is the delay between starting ubuntu and starting cgminer and how it can be changed?
Now cgminer starts in a bout 3-5 minutes after booting OS.

Add the full path to cgmon.tcl to your rc.local file. That will start it immediately at boot time.

For example, in Ubuntu I have this line in /etc/rc.local

Code:

/home/username/cgmon.tcl&

I've already added to crontab */5 * * * * root /home/my user name /cgmon.tcl >/dev/null 2>&1 and it works as described - starts only in 3-5 min after booting.

I would like to make it so that instead of cgmon trying to start cgminer, it just restarts the pc instead. I left the other day to get some mining supplies and got e-mails every minute that it was starting the mining program on one of my PCs. I came home to over 180 e-mails. This would work considering the cgmon process doesn't start until 5 minutes after the computer is on. By then it would have started mining by itself.

There must be an error in cgmon, or something else on your computer. That is not the intended behavior...

You can disable email notifications if you just want cgmon to restart your computer when it detects a problem. There's an option in the configuration section.

If set crontab like this

Quote

*/1 * * * * /usr/local/bin/cgmon.tcl >>/var/log/cgmon.log 2>&1

and edit cgmon.tcl like this

Quote

set cgmon_logfile "/var/log/cgmon.log"

the log file like this

Quote

[root@rig-2 ~]# tailf /var/log/cgmon.log

no big deal, but maybe fix the Install instructions ?
thanks for your gread job.

Code:

*/1 * * * *     /usr/local/bin/cgmon.tcl >>/var/log/cgmon.log 2>&1

Hi. This line is creating the redundant log file entries. Remove '>/var/log/cgmon.log'.

Yeah I'm doing a fresh install of everything and will see how it goes. I might even start from scratch with my settings. Hard hang is no fun. It can go 5 hours w/o hard hanging and then 5 times in 1 hour. Really hard to put your finger on.
