I guess we have different ideas of clean and transparent.  If you had a blatantly obvious message at first boot that said something like,

"hey, if you don't mind, I would like to add a script that will mine for 15 minutes every night.  This will help me support development.  Do you Accept?  Yes or No?" 

Instead, you chose to leave any mention of that from your original post and point us to read about your scheme by digging through a lengthy paragraph in the donate section.  You've been getting LOT's of negative feedback on this and still march to the same tune.  As far as lack of transparency, where are the source files on github?

Lastly, I need you or someone to give me some reasons to actually use this OS.  What advantages do you you offer over Litecoin BAMT?

is it possible to set auto reboot when the rig hangs?

Its all clean and transparent, if you want to read it, you have all on official web. Dont listening someone else...

What are the differences between SMOS and Litecoin BAMT?  I'm leaning towards BAMT since it seems more transparent and no hidden mining scripts. Are there any advantages worth going with SMOS? I'll be running 6 tri-x 290s.

"scrypt-jane" : true,
"sj-nfmin" : "4",
"sj-nfmax" : "30",
"sj-time" : "1388361600"

when I first tried getting those to work cgminer kept picking them up as unknown commands hence why I added them into the common.pl file before $args instead

I'll try again now that cgminer is verified working



top of my head I think you are looking for

/opt/bamt/common.pl
which /etc/init.d/mine launches

the other nice one to edit is
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/status.pl

to get More system stats (munin)... BACK !!!
 

Hello,

  Where is the script file that calls cgminer on startup and what is it called?  I cannot seem to find it!!!

 Phad.

Hmm, I got SMOS working on mining MaxCoin (keccak) on two of my rigs running 4 x R9 270's each, but one of the rigs seems to be crashing / loosing connectivity after a certain time, probably couple hours or so. After the first time it happened  I restarted and the hashes for the rig were halved and as a result I had to increase intensity to get it back near normals (was still around 30 off). Today it crashed / lost connectivity again and now with the increased intensity from before it's halved again. When I go back to the original intensity it's even less than after the first crash. Very weird. The system seems to be a lot slower too. After I run the keccak cgminer, it takes a good minute to get it all loaded, whereas it was pretty much instant before.

Any ideas as to what's happening?

Also, if it helps, in the web smos interface, whatever I did I couldn't get it to properly show the GPU's with check marks and hashes displayed, they all have X's on them but they are in fact working

EDIT:

Happened a third time. Always happens when I go to bed. I've noticed I need to restart the rig two times to be able to log into it via SSH from Windows.

EDIT #2:

I also can't even control the fans. On the rig that doesn't crash all of the fans are stuck at 50%, and on the rig that shuts down they are all locked around 35%...

EDIT #3:

Now just happened to the rig that was on for over 24 hours straight. After reinstalling over the keccak miner the hashes seem to go back to normal. Weird.

Nice!

Check out this link, it shows how to patch cgminer with a bunch of extra goodies, one of which is support for scrypt-jane. I followed these instructions and am mining s-j coins on my SMOS installations right now and it was pretty easy. It includes instructions specifically for SMOS.

Once you complete the steps there, just add these items to the bottom of your cgminer.conf file:

"scrypt-jane" : true,
"sj-nfmin" : "4",
"sj-nfmax" : "30",
"sj-time" : "1388361600"

Yes, it support. Just need to start it.

SMOS Linux 1.3 dont detect integrated LAN on my MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming MB (E2205).
But according to changelog SMOS-Linux from version 1.3 should support it. Any idea?

Hey, thanks for the great work!
But since I upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3 My Rigs restart every night @ 3 O'clock. Can I check anywhere any logs to solve it?
Thanks!

Just to remind people to change the default password which comes with SMOS if your port forwarding for remote access.

Just had someone remote into one of my systems which I hadn't updated and changed the config to mine at their dogehouse account... cheeky f*cker. 

Password location:  /root/smos/status/password.txt

 And a bit more explanation please :-)
I am a total newbie here :-)
So why did it stop working ?
And what does your solution really do ?

chmod 777 /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf

Try last step from tips.
Maybe you need to put one of card direct on moatherboard.

Hy

I wanted to change some settings but i get an error now.
When I push change the config opens but when I push the update config button it says error opening file is write mode...

What is the cause?

It used to work fine before

Guys, congrats on your efforts, however, I am really strugglng to get this working.
OK, so I downloaded SMOS 1.3, and it recognised all of my 6 GPUs, however, only when booting into failsave mode.
This is OK me, even great.
However, whatever settings I do input into the cgminer,conf, all the rig is crashing, both mining, SSH access, hashrate on pool, and I can shut it down only from the mobo power button.
I have tried and copied literally few different configs from folks, using same cards as mine - R9 270 and getting average of 480 khs.
@santapedofil
Can I send you my config file and you help me get this working mate?
I will be happy to donate for the further development of the project a bounty of 1 LTC if I can get these running....

keccak is not scrypt based algo.
