Great program. I was just not sure if it was running or not. It was not. I issued ./cgmon.tcl after entering all the parameters in the cgmon.tcl file. Some parameter where wrong and was able to repair with the information outputted from the script. I needed to install PHP5 guess I missed the dependencies on the first post. I had a some suggestions since your are working on a new version would the script be able to restart the computer in case it is unable to restart cgminer, also would it be possible to monitor temperature and throttle intensity based on if a GPU reaches a certain temperature.

New version in the works:

*) Shell script built-in.
*) cgminer API built-in. No need to mess with that file at all anymore.
*) Checks for miners that are not outputting Accepted shares (i.e. cgminer is running, but not outputting good shares).
*) Timestamps in emails and logfile
*) Improved error reporting
*) Simplified configuration

Wow, glad you like it.

Were your emails not being sent before you added that line? Mine haven't had that issue. Perhaps my mail server just isn't that picky (sendmail)?

I've made a *bunch* of improvements and fixed more bugs, so I'll need to upload a new version soon....

This really is a great script! Grin

Just 2 small problems I found in it:

- HELO command is missing on the socket send in the sendmail function. This is required by most SMTP servers to accept mail. It should be the first thing sent. i.e.
puts $sockid "HELO $hostname"

- My cgminer (at least 3.7.2 very popular version for scrypt mining) has the PHP API as 'api-example.php' in the directory. Threw me off for a minute, was not sure which was required till I dug in and figured it out.

Tired of finding miners sick, dead, or crashed for long periods of time? I was! Here's cgmon, a lightweight, free, and open source script which performs these functions in Linux:

Monitors health of all GPU's & ASIC's. If a GPU crash or problem is detected, reboots the computer and starts mining automatically.
Auto restart cgminer when it crashes.
Auto restart of computer if cgminer becomes unresponsive.
Monitors Accepted Share counts per GPU/ASIC - restart & notify if a GPU/ASIC is not outputting accepted shares.
Monitors network connection and mining pools for outages.
Email notification of all actions.
Now has SMTP AUTH support for gmail and other ISPs*
Automated version checking and upgrading
Runs via command line in 'screen' so you can access cgminer at anytime.
Runs cgminer in the background
Can be started/viewed via SSH
Supports unlimited GPU's/ASIC's.
Supports up to five mining pools.
Supports sgminer 4.0.0

Requires: PHP, TCL, and screen.

Compatible with:
cgminer 3.1.1 -> 3.7.2
sgminer 4.0.0
vertminer

Tested in Ubuntu, CentOS, and BAMT. Should work in all other unix-based operating systems.

I'm sure there are bugs. Report them in this thread.

    */2 * * * *	root	/home/user/cgmon.tcl >/dev/null 2>&1

 3) chmod +x cgmon.tcl

 4) Fill out the configuration sections in cgmon.tcl and test the script by running it directly: ./cgmon.tcl
