Use Cgwatcher with variables in place of the specific (per machine) values.

Cgwatcher conf file used on multiple machines, using variables instead of set values - stored on network and accessed remotely on each machine (make one for each coin type, this is my doge conf):

Code:
{
"pools" : [
{
"name" : "Fast Pool-doge",
"url" : "stratum+tcp://fast-pool.com:9999",
"user" : "%worker%",
"pass" : "%password%",
"pool-priority" : "0"
},
{
"name" : "Poolerino-doge",
"url" : "stratum+tcp://doge.poolerino.com:3333",
"user" : "%worker%",
"pass" : "%password%",
"pool-priority" : "1"
},
{
"name" : "megamultipool",
"url" : "stratum+tcp://scrypt.megamultipool.com:80",
"user" : "%worker%",
"pass" : "%password%",
"pool-priority" : "2"
}
],
"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1",
"api-listen" : true,
"api-network" : true,
"scrypt" : true,
"gpu-threads" : "%threads%",
"intensity" : "%intensity%",
"lookup-gap" : "%gap%",
"thread-concurrency" : "%tc%"
}

The Cgwatcher profile is configured to use the config file located on a shared network folder. To change pools, just edit the conf and restart the miners. Since this is only a single conf file, it's VERY easy to reconfigure multiple machines. You can also make a new conf very quickly, by just replacing the pool info for a new coin type.

Variables as set in cgwatcher on machine #1 (dual gpu):

Code:
worker=worker.1
password=password
threads=1
intensity=20,15
gap=2,2
tc=24000,21712

Variables as set in cgwatcher on machine #2 (single gpu):

Code:
worker=worker.2
password=password
threads=1
intensity=15
gap=2
tc=8000

Using cgremote, I can also edit the variables remotely, switch coins/conf files for each machine, and restart the miners. Without cgremote, this part could still be done via teamviewer.

Hi all,
Trying to figure the best way to get all the rigs to easily switch between pools without having to edit 20 .conf files. For example: Im mining DOGE and I want to point all the rigs to a new coin(pool) just launched. (forget multipool or switchpool, I want to choose my own coin)

I have 2 ideas on how to do this but I would appreciate some feedback from you all.

1- Setup my own node website with MPOS, do some programming, and get it working as a switcher like Hash.so does

2- Maybe use CGremote with CGwatcher? Haven't used this software much and not sure if this is a viable solution.

Maybe I'm just complicating things and there is a simpler way to do it?

Suggestions appreciated

Cheers
