I have suggested this before. But now with suprnovas mnx pool down it is more important than ever.

Would you PLEASE stop the miner from reconnecting endlessly?
Or just implement "--retries" argument for how many times you would like it to retry, like I suggested before.
The quickest solution is to not have the miner reconnect at all and just exit so we could do something, where now the miner just stops ALL mining and waits forever for the pool to be up again, and hopefully it does.

I really don't want to have a script pinging the pool I am using all day again, just so I can exit the miner if it goes down, to switch pools automatically.
