Guys what is SRR option?

also when i set minimum temp=25 or lower, it wont go lower than 30

(using v0019 with updating)

SRR = Simple Rig Resetter
it's a little board that connects to your power/reset pins on the motherboard, it then listens for heartbeats from specific rigs, when the heartbeat stops, it means the rig froze, it hard re-sets the specific rig.

I've been using one for a few months, saved me lots of time at the beginning.
Does Linux ever hard freeze?
Been using ubuntu since 2006,
Got lucky and have never experienced it.

Linux is very stable, but it won't protect you from hardware issues so if you OC the cards too much any OS will freeze, updates can cause issues, drivers etc.
Use case:
Remote rigs - it can correct a remote issue in minutes before you're even aware.
USB failure issues - I've had USB issues with the Asrock BTC+ 110H boards where sometimes they don't recognize the USB and reboot into bios... this cycles the power and the USB is seen again.
I've had rigs hang when OC'ing cards too hard, or heat buildup during summer at a remote site.
The next Mobo manufacturer that includes this functionality in their mining Mobo's is gonna do well, all server class machines already have similar capabilities for the same reasons.
