Topic: CGWatcher gets stuck - "No pools set in config file or arguments!" (Read 879 times)
Oh, OK. The problem is I had to manually switch it. I'm thinking of paying for a CGremote beta to watch the miner from work now... Jeez, what's up with their grammar...

FROM the website as of a couple mins ago:
"Update: DB issues forced a rebuild. Please switch to Another pool for Now. Things Should be Back to normal by Morning. coins Are safe."

I think the pool is down, what i'm trying to figure out is the automatic pool switching solution. CGwatcher is supposed to be able to do it but in my case it gets stuck.

Same thing just happened to me. I'm not sure why but the pool must be down even though they say it isnt.

For some reason my cgminer batch files for multipool stopped working (they just result in a blank window). Multipool website is currently down so I figured the pool might be malfunctioning too. Profiles for other pools are working.
Anyway - I had CGwatcher configured so i thought it would switch profiles if it's not mining. Instead it gets stuck on "No pools set in config file or arguments! If I need to restart the miner it will be stuck at prompt until you manually enter this information. Putting this into the config file or arguments is highly recommended to ensure continuous mining."
The arguments are showing in the CGwatcher window for the profile - it gets them from the batch file... I just don't want the thing to get stuck on idle when I'm not watching it.
Just in case here's a sample batch file (for a 280x, i don't really know what I'm doing):
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1p
C:\...\cgminer-3.7.2-windows\cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us-east.multipool.us:7777 -u xxx.xx -p xx -I 13 --thread-concurrency 11200 -g 2 -w 256 -I 13 --gpu-engine 1050 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-powertune -20 --expiry 1 --scan-time 1 --queue 0 --no-submit-stale
pause
Should I use config files instead of batch files? Batch seemed easier because I created a file for each pool, maybe I'm doing this wrong...
Thanks.
