Thanks for your reply, but I only compiled it yesterday. It doesn't look like it's been updated since then.
I don't know enough to throw together a script but I'm sure it wouldn't take much - just something to automatically reconnect when the miner stops.
Maybe if someone more knowledgeable's having the same issue they'll rustle something up.
Ah strange, I compiled from sources recently and don't seem to have this issue.
If you launch simpleminer with a script (in terminal) you can do something like:
#grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo > numcores.txt
bash_suck_level=2001
while [ $bash_suck_level -ge 2000 ]; do
./simpleminer --pool-addr=198.199.79.100:5555 --login=[ADDRESS] --pass x
done;
This just puts it into an infinite loop of running simpleminer, so whenever it closes it gets launched again. Keep in mind that you still need to run 8 instances if you want 8 threads.
