Let luke roam free, heathens.

Thanks for doing this work. It will take me some time to review these patches as they're fairly large and I'm relatively low on cycles for anything more than a cursory glance at the moment.
Please do not allow Luke-Jr to become associated with CGMiner in any way. Frankly, he is nothing more than a stain on the community as a whole and if his past actions are any indication, you would be opening the door for him to create more havoc in the project than it is worth.
He has indicated that reverse engineering is lawful and an acceptable method of moving forward, so please take this into consideration when reviewing his patches and do everything you possibly can to MAKE THEM YOUR OWN so that his reputation doesn't leave any marks on this great project.

Well, that explains why I couldn't figure it out
At the moment the issue of CPU code and the Luke-jr changes mean I wont be touching any code until those are decided
(except helping ckolivas remove the CPU code from api.c if/when he does the CPU code removal)
there's also a minor bug in the example code: api-example.c that messes up the JSON (works fine otherwise of course)
The +1 in the send() needs removing - that I'll fix later also.

OK, so maybe I am missing somthing.. but all the rpc requests I see can either start or stop a gpu, get summary of gpu. but how do you change the clocks? or change the pool??
Code:
The list of requests and replies are:
Request Reply Section Details
------- ------------- -------
version VERSION CGMiner=cgminer version
API=API version
summary SUMMARY The status summary of the miner
e.g. Elapsed=NNN,Found Blocks=N,Getworks=N,...|
pools POOLS The status of each pool
e.g. Pool=0,URL=http://pool.com:6311,Status=Alive,...|
devs DEVS Each available CPU and GPU with their details
e.g. GPU=0,Accepted=NN,MHS av=NNN,...,Intensity=D|
gpu|N GPU The details of a single GPU number N in the same
format and details as for DEVS
cpu|N CPU The details of a single CPU number N in the same
format and details as for DEVS
gpucount GPUS Count=N| <- the number of GPUs
cpucount CPUS Count=N| <- the number of CPUs
gpuenable|N none There is no reply section just the STATUS section
stating the results of the enable request
gpudisable|N none There is no reply section just the STATUS section
stating the results of the disable request
gpurestart|N none There is no reply section just the STATUS section
stating the results of the restart request
quit none There is no status section but just a single "BYE|"
reply before cgminer quits
I see how to get pool info, but no command to change the pool, or change the fan, or change the clock.? what am i missing?

woah... Wasn't excpecting that. Thanks!! First donation. Woo!

Looks like you forgot "api-listen" : true in there.
Thank you sir. 1btc on its way!
edit: i figured if you had api-network it was assumed you wanted it to listen

Has anyone had problems connecting to the rpc port for cgminer? I continue to get the following error:
this is using the api-example.php from a machine on the network with access to the rig
"216ERR: socket connect(miner16,4028) failed 'No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. ' "
I have the latest miner: root@linuxcoin:/home/user/cgminer-2.1.2-x86_64-built#

I am using linuxcoin on a stick.. I am sure I have to push or pull some knob in linux, any help would be appreciated.

You aren't going to like it Brunic BUT it likely is your POS router built in to your modem. The good news is it is possible to get a router and turn off all routing functions in the modem and get a router which has the ability to handle the high number of simultaneous connections.
It is called bridging the modem and can be "fun" depending on how crappy the modem is and how poor the documentation is.
An example:
http://www.no-ip.com/support/guides/routers/bridging_your_dsl_modem.html
If it were up to me modems w/ built in routers would be deemed a crime against humanity.

Yeaaaaah!
It worked!
It was the shitty Bell modem who caused all of this.

Yeah, even with the threads at 1, it didn't change anything. As soon as I get 4 mining rigs working (or around 16 gpus), apocalypse comes say hello.
I'll look into bridging the modem. I have a couple of router in a box here, I'm going to try that.
Thanks!

I had to buy a new router and install tomato on it before I could use cgminer for more then a couple of rigs.. no problems since.

Although I bridge my ADSL modem through my linux 'router' (rp-pppoe of course) I would never do that for any of my clients.It is called bridging the modem and can be "fun" depending on how crappy the modem is and how poor the documentation is.

As soon as they have internet problems and they call their ISP, having a bridged modem either ends the support conversation, or the support ask them to plug it directly into their computer ... and that's the end of their internet ... until I go visit them - why I stopped doing it.
Maybe for someone who knows what they are doing, bridging is good, but for others there can be issues ...

It does indeed sound like your network is simply overloaded. cgminer hits the network very hard, and with that many GPUs, especially after a longpoll, they'll all be looking for work at the same time. If it happens at twice as many GPUs when you decrease threads to 1, then that will be diagnostic.

Brunic do you have a router? You say the hub (switch?) is connected directly to the DSL modem.
Some routers especially older crappier ones can't sustain a large number of simultaneous connections.
The problem you describe I have seen described with users having issues w/ bittorrent. I don't know how many connections cgminer creates but the problem sounds the same.

The DSL modem also act as a router.

The hub is connected into the Bell modem.

The other thing is you said you use 4 workers? You aren't running multiple copies of cgminer on 1 rig are you? That is a completely wasteful way to run. 1 rig = 1cgminer instance = 1 worker.
How many total rigs do you have and how many total GPUs?
How many total rigs do you have and how many total GPUs?
No, I'm running only 1 instance of cgminer. When I said 4 workers, I meant 4 different mining rigs. I have a total of 12 mining rigs with 46 GPU total.
On my 12 mining rigs, I used Phoenix 1.7.2. Never had any problem related to network with this miner. I've decided to install cgminer. If I test it on 1 or 2 mining rig, I don't have any problems at all. With 3 mining rig, it seems ok, rarely having network problem (but you see them starting to appear). At 4 mining rigs, it really gets bad and at 5 mining rigs with cgminer, the network is completely dead. The network is completely jammed, even on computers not mining.

You can halve the number of connections potentially by decreasing threads per GPU from 2 to 1
--gpu-threads|-g Number of threads per GPU (1 - 10) (default: 2)
Try setting it to 1. I know some miners have a little pause between connections to cope (like diablominer) whereas cgminer is absurdly aggressive with trying to keep the GPU busy - this is also why it's more suitable for mining with p2pool. Perhaps yet another option is required...

I'll try that and let you know.

Hi guys,
I don't why or how, but using cgminer on my miners seems to overload my network or something like that.
If I use cgminer on one or two workers, everything is fine. But usually, as soon as I use it for 4 workers or more, my network jam completely. In cgminer, I see "Lost connection to pool" a bunch of others message linked to network failure. Everything fails so much that even computers on the network that don't mine (like my work computer) get an horrible latency while browsing the web, getting easily "Could not find this website blablabla".
Cgminer 2.1.1 provoke this phenomenon, and 2.1.2 didn't seem to correct it either.
I've used Phoenix for more than 6 months and I never had a similar problem. When I got this problem, I've reverted all my miners back to Phoenix, and everything went fine. All my miners and my computer are connected into a hub, and that hub is connected to the home DSL modem.
I'm really interested in using cgminer, with the new RPC interface. If you guys could help me diagnose the problem, or suggest me things to try, I'll appreciate it!
