regarding the pool switch you implemented, last week I received a alert email at 00:25 AM, alerting me that my miner was not working. The fact was that, after MinePeon killed the cgminer at the ending of donation period, the new cgminer could not access the USB Block Erupters. This happened only one time.
One time is one time too many if you ask me, that is why I implemented the change in 0.2.2 that totally exits the miner while switching config files.
Best regards and good luck to MinePeon and to yourself.
Awww, don't be like that, forgive a grumpy old man. You just annoyed me a bit when you suggested I go back to a method that I know does not work reliably. (that and the exit button

)
