Re: PiMiner - DIY mining controller/monitor with Raspberry Pi [v1.1]
So I was wondering if there was a way to launch Pi.Miner form a "autorun" script when the Pi boots? Then press and hold the up button to launch cgminer with the predefined config file? The bonus would be still having the ability to SSH in independently and see the output from cgminer.
The tutorial now describes how to add auto-start and the scripts have been updated to support this functionality. This method starts cgminer up as well. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to run cgminer as a background job which can then be brought to the foreground. Whenever I tried, cgminer just stops while in background - this is why I ended up using nohup. I'm open to better solutions, of course.
P.S. I also think you should come up with a way for people to mine on a schedule and be able to set aside time to mine (say thanks) to you for a given period of time per day/week, like cgwatcher does.
Interesting, but would need to be 1000% bulletproof/bug free - don't want to risk messing with folks' income!
In any case, my address in in my sig
