Could you elaborate on what PXE booting, daemontools, and puppet mean? I'm a Windows guy!

Sure:
PXE booting means booting off the network from a file server - no disks in the machine and they all share the same root filesystem on the file server
daemontools is a program for supervising processes - if they die it automatically restarts them
puppet is a configuration management tool for linux

I should probably do a howto for all this, parts of this could be easily re-used without needing the whole setup.

Many thanks for the helpful response. I for one would appreciate a howto on making the RPi/MinePeon more automatic.

You can use "screen" too

Definitely, but this means that you need to (after a system reboot) remember, or be available, to log in and start everything up.

I have my systems PXE booting, automatically starting X under tty12 and cgminer under daemontools. It means that my miners can reboot at any time and they'll come up mining. Throw in puppet for managing the config files and it's fairly well automated.

I run cgminer under daemontools. Use --syslog to send most of the log output to the system log and redirect output from the command line to /tmp/cgminer.log, so you can see the ongoing hashrate.

I have a question about Linux usage: once you have connected via SSH, how do you get the output of cgminer (or any other running process, for that matter)?

IS there a benefit of using nogpu.exe vs no gpu in config file?

It just doesn't have the gpu code built into it so you don't need opencl installed (opencl.dll required etc). Otherwise it behaves the same.

Sadly it's crashing the 17 lancelot instance every 10 minutes

cgminer.exe caused an Access Violation at location 0045b0b9 in module cgminer.exe Reading from location 1b30d66a.

That's not a debug build so that is useless as well I'm afraid.

About 5-10% better still over 60%

Well I don't think that's the cause then if it's only 5%. We'll investigate further.

I've found a place where a fair amount of cpu usage might be lost. You might want to try the new binaries I uploaded again here that try to kerb that:

Heh, that's more like it

Yes reliably. Will post tomorrow. It gets tiresome using rdp on my phone.

No rush. We greatly appreciate the debugging but take your time. This is the unfortunate cost of such heavy development, and we're heavily dependent on users testing scenarios we can't reproduce ourselves.

Darn, there's not really anything useful in that debug output.
