Recently, I have had two rigs where the ZEC process just freezes and crashes. Awesome miner does not kill the process or restart it. I have to manually close it and then Awesome Miner restarts the process.
If it crashes and AM Remote doesn't see it, maybe it's because your miner is started using a start /B command for example?
Or maybe there is a windows message like "This program doesn't run anymore" (don't know the message in english) and this window doesn't allow AMR to kill it.
This window can be set up not to appear in Group Strategy.
Otherwise I've kind the same problem - I use Generic Miner, no API, sometimes it doesn't crash but produces 0 solution :-(
Which is why (for you and for me) this solution I proposed would help:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=676942.msg32059884#msg32059884Didn't even think of the little pop up box! I will look into disabling it in the group strategy. That is what is likely causing it not to be able to be closed from AM.
The rules/trigger is quite comprehensive, especially when combined with custom scripts in batch or C# but didn't think of the window. Thank you so much!
