Ok. I found the problem. The path is invalid, so the command failed.

[root@pogoplug01 Bitcoin]# cat /etc/startscript.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#...
screen -dmS cgminer /home/Bitcoin/cgminer/cgminer-3.4.3/cgminer 
           --config /home/Bitcoin/cgminer-3.4.3/cgminer.conf 2> /var/log/cgminer.log
#...

This is the correct path:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#...
screen -dmS cgminer /home/Bitcoin/cgminer-3.4.3/cgminer 
           --config /home/Bitcoin/cgminer-3.4.3/cgminer.conf 2> /var/log/cgminer.log
#...

Thanks for all your help.

Sometimes man, just sometimes.....

It appears to have taken it in some capacity. Usually if it doesnt like it, it will tell you that it doesnt recognize the command.

Code:

[root@pogoplug01 etc]# systemctl enable cgminer
ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/cgminer.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cgminer.service'
[root@pogoplug01 etc]#

Is this a sign of success or warning?
Thanks

Have you tried to also systemctl enable cgminer.service, then rebooting?

No maybe a reboot is necessary...
Thanks.

You should post this in the Mining forum when you leave newbie jail. There are more experienced users who can help you out faster.

I'm trying to configure cgminer to run as service/daemon on ArchLinuxARM on my Pogoplug E02 with ASIC Block Erupters attached to it.
I just built the OS from the lastest release on 9/25/13. I followed the tutorial from Qui's techNOLOGY Blog. It was easy to follow and was written after the initd and systemd changes. All the other tuts I used were written prior to those changes and created many headaches.

Every guide I have seem is close, but not quite.
Ex: [Seach cgminer] [^^^^]
   [Seach cgminer]+[ASIC Block erupter] [^^^]
   [Seach cgminer]+[ASIC Block erupter]+Linux [^]
   [Seach cgminer]+[ASIC Block erupter]+Linux+Pogoplug []

In my first attempt, I followed two guides,
Project: CGMiner 3.4.0 with USB Block Erupters on a 5W pogoplug mobilehttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=285028.0 and
Tutorials:Raspberry Pi Mining with Arch Linuxhttps://forums.butterflylabs.com/showwiki.php?title=Tutorials:Raspberry+Pi+Mining+with+Arch+Linux which made it confusing.

I have setup the following configuration with three files:
[root@pogoplug01 cgminer-3.4.3]# cat /home/Bitcoin/cgminer/cgminer-3.4.3/cgminer.conf

Code:

{
"pools" : [
        {
                 "url" : "http://pool-us.50btc.com:8332",
                "user" : "[email protected]_xxx",
                "pass" : "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
        }
]
,
       "api-listen" : true,
       "api-port" : "4028",
       "expiry" : "120",
       "failover-only" : true,
       "log" : "5",
       "no-pool-disable" : true,
       "queue" : "2",
       "scan-time" : "60",
       "worktime" : true,
       "shares" : "0",
       "kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin",
       "api-allow" : "0/0",
       "icarus-options" : "115200:1:1",
       "icarus-timing" : "3.0=100"
}

[root@pogoplug01 Bitcoin]# cat /etc/startscript.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# sleep 1m ### This is one difference between the two guides ###
screen -dmS cgminer /home/Bitcoin/cgminer-3.4.3/cgminer --config /home/Bitcoin/cgminer-3.4.3/cgminer.conf 2> /var/log/cgminer.log
# sleep 100000d ### This is one difference between the two guides ###

[root@pogoplug01 Bitcoin]# cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/cgminer.service

Code:

[Unit]
Description=Start cgminer
Documentation=man:syslog-ng(8)

[Service]
User=root
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/sh /etc/startscript.sh
StandardOutput=null

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
# Enable the service: ### This is one difference between the two guides ###
### I commented this out because I didn't think it was valid code! ###

[root@pogoplug01 Bitcoin]#

Then changed permissions for the script:
[root@pogoplug01 Bitcoin]# chmod +x /usr/lib/systemd/system/cgminer.service

Once everything was configured, I shutdown the ssh session which was running cgminer interactively and started the daemon:
[root@pogoplug01 Bitcoin]# systemctl start cgminer~~.service~~

[root@pogoplug01 Bitcoin]# systemctl enable cgminer #This will start the cgminer.service on startup.

Then I tried to restore the screen session with:
[root@pogoplug01 Bitcoin]# screen -r
error:No screen to restore -- Not sure of the exact wording here.

So I looked to see if it logged anything:
[root@pogoplug01 Bitcoin]# cat /var/log/cgminer.log
[root@pogoplug01 Bitcoin]#

Is there a debug version so I can trace my path?

Oh, yes I did post this in the ALARM forum. But it seems the ratio of activity between BT and ALARM is 1000+?/1.
I'm aware this is an immortal sin in the Forum worlds. But I just want to mine too people!

Some please point me in the right direction...
Thanks.
