Re: If you mine with CGMiner, try CGWatcher, a GUI/monitor to help minimize downtime

Hi, this software looks great. I'm just having a slight problem getting it up and running, I wondered if you or anyone here could help?

When I click "Start" the cmd window running CGMiner flashes up briefly but then closes. I have the correct miner arguments set and the relevant software installed (.NET etc).

When I click "Stop" CGWatcher tells me "I only have read-only access to CGMiner...". I think it could be to do with this? I am running both programs as administrator and as far as I can tell both have all the relevant permissions.

Many thanks

If the cmd window disappears right away, this is usually caused because an error occured. Double check the command line arguments. Make sure cgminer will run fine by itself first with the same command line - run it from a .cmd or .bat file or use the conf instead. Note that the command line argument to output to a log file(2>logfile.txt) will cause this with CGWatcher(I have a workaround for this - let me know if you need it and I will give details).

The permission issue might be related to the api-allow argument.
