I found miner couple of times  crashed when internet connection is lost...
There is some bug or I'm doing something wrong?

I have small farm with close to 100 GPUs, and restarting is not solution for me because i don't have dummy plugs on my rigs.
If i don't connect monitor to first GPU, rigs will fail to restart.
I noticed that 100% of time when miner is stuck is when internet connection is lost! It says internet connection to server is lost, miner is trying to reconect and usually then miner crashes... I like speed of miner and stability when there is no problem with internet connection. Please fix this bug so i can use your miner!

You have close to 100GPU farm and you don't have a proper monitoring/reboot system ? If miner fail in any way, you should have automated script/app/hardwares that reboot your stuff soft or hard or take appropriate software action (kill/restart miners, and so on). Also why not fix internet connection ?

I have few places with rigs... On one of them Internet connection drops every few hours... Sad

Ah i see... not ideal... why not putting a small appliance, like a raspberry PI on site, that will monitoring and / or reboot your rigs ? you could also have a monitoring on each rig (locally) that if something is wrong it'll reboot/restart miner and so on, this i what i do, local monitoring on each rig, then a global one on the network, and also a remote one on pool API's. Have you tried the watchdog option of the miner ?/

Problem is that i don't have dummy plugs and my rigs fail to reboot without monitor attached... So i need miner that will not crash every time internet connection is dropped... On other places with stable internet connection miner works stable... Also i had to remove that line zstratum+tls:// in start bat because miner refused to make secure connection complaining something about security certificate... On same rig Claymore SSL connection work without problems.Strange.
If you have a lot of rigs this might help https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1695298.0
