Thanks Graet, that looks like it'll be a solution for problem #1. There probably isn't any way to integrate that to problem #2 though, is there? Sorry to be a pain and as I said, thank you for the solution. That should at least let me be shutting my windows box off overnight. So long as I don't have an unexpected reboot on the BAMT box it'll work and I can always set it to roll over to non-Stratum proxy mining if it does reboot on me.
