@dstm Is there any reason why the process wouldn't exit on its own under such condition?



Too much OC made your GPU hang, either reboot or reset drivers with nvidia inspector, it should unlock the GPU's and u'll be able to kill the ZM process. Dtsm work very differently of other Zcash miners, you need to take another approach of your PL/OC otherwise u'll never find your sweetspot or completly miss the mark.

Good luck.

Thank you, but i know pretty much all of that, i have been mining for quite some time now.
What i wanted to know was why the miner process didn't exit, pretty much all other miners i tried force closed them selves after a critical error like this one.
While i can write my self a script that can monitor the reported hashrate from json data and force close the process or reboot the machine when desired, if the miner could close it self like all the others it would make things much simpler for most miners out there, since most people use infinite while loop scripts that simply restarts the process after it exits.
