Since I am often making changes, testing stuff, I always run cgminer in a loop that simply restarts if it fails.
The windows version of this is
The 5s sleep is good in case you change the options and it keeps hard looping due to a mistake
The windows version of this is
Code:
@echo off
REM cgminer
:Loop
Set NOW=%date:~10,4%%date:~7,2%%date:~4,2%.%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%%time:~6,2%
.\cgminer.exe --no-restart --api-port 4028 --api-listen --api-allow W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.1.0/24 --api-description Des -c pools.json 2> "run.%NOW%.log"
echo Sleeping for 5 seconds
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 > NUL
GOTO Loop
If someone is interested, here is my linux version:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
for (( ; ; ))
do
cgminer --config cg_$1_$2.conf 2>log$2.log
echo sleeping.....
sleep 5
echo done sleeping
done
I'm using few instances of cgminer for different devices and with parameters I can start different configs.
For example:
./gocg btc e
Runs config file cg_btc_e.conf logfile loge.log for my erupters.
(how I do it - though I do it in 2 scripts one that calls the other - this is essentially what it is)
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#
nam="$HOME/cgminer-run.log"
while true ; do
echo "`date`: Starting cgminer" 2>&1 | tee -a "$nam"
ulimit -c 2097152
now="`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`"
./cgminer --api-listen "$@" 2> "$HOME/run.$now.$$.log"
s="$?"
echo "`date`: cgminer exited status ($s)" 2>&1 | tee -a "$nam"
echo "`date`: Sleeping for 5..." 2>&1 | tee -a "$nam"
sleep 5
done
Any other options you want you can add when you run it
So e.g. if you call it cgminer.sh
You can run it as:
./cgminer.sh -c pools.conf
In your $HOME directory you'll have cgminer-run.log that will list all the starts and stops
And run.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.$$.log for each run
