so i made a script..
tell me if you guys have any issues.. or think of ways to make it better.

Is there a way to add something which will prevent a reboot if "N" reboots attempted in "M" minutes? If the s7 fails to achieve boards over 55 degrees then a reboot is a good practice. If the s7 fails to achieve boards over 55 degrees after 5 reboots in 20 minutes then a "do not reboot" is a good practice. This is because too many consecutive reboot loops without hashing is a waste of power. If the 5th reboot does not start hasing then there is a good chance the 6th reboot will not either. Or additionally a "do not reboot for "H" hours after "N" consecutive reboot loops" would take that notion a step further.

I'm not sure this is possible just throwing it out there.

it is possible but i never really ran into this.

if you set the pwm to what you think it should be, when you start the script it will only reboot when it needs to.

the only reason it would reboot 5 times in a row is if you set the pwm to 80 and you needed like 50 or 40.. its set to drop in 5 increments.

also its just rebooting cgminer, not the whole miner.. so its not really using any extra power.. you lose maybe 10 seconds of mining.
