but your solution/advice is not what I need or want.
Hello eminer001.
I don't believe I called anyone lazy or said that AM was cheating me out of my right to make millions per day, mining.

your advice is a "work-around" that frankly, shouldn't have to be used.
First, I'm not eminer001. Second, I'm a paying customer. Third, the functionality is documented here
https://www.awesomeminer.com/help/managedsoftware.aspx in my case it does not work in a manner that would be expected.
I'm asking if this is a known bug? am I doing it incorrectly? Is intensity a command line argument that cannot be set in the algo section of the managed software? your work around does not address any of those.
