I read fifty times instructios.

Please help write .SH file for Linux to run excavator
(examples of .bat files  )
I can run ewbf or claymore but i dont understand how to run  Excavator.
i just tries write in console excavator and .... what keys and parameters i must write?

please give me a sample anybody
any sample/

I tries use random help from internet pages for cc miner, i not change keys.
if i change it - it will works, or i MUST use JSON?
excavator -a blake2s -o stratum+tcp://pool.unimining.net:5766 -u D8Z2APfnC68K461amMR6v4faaiCxWiY1rE -p c=XVG --cpu-priority=3


You can run excavator either using a start-up JSON file or HTTP API. Here is an example of the json file (to run blake2s on GPU-0):

Code:
[
{"time":0,"commands":[
{"id":1,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["blake2s", "pool.unimining.net:5766","username.workerName:password"]}
]},
{"time":3,"commands":[
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]}
]},
{"time":10,"loop":10,"commands":[
{"id":1,"method":"algorithm.print.speeds","params":[]}
]}
]

Save it to blake2s.json file and start excavator with the next command:
excavator -c blake2s.json

If you want to run excavator on more cards, you have to add more worker.add methods. For example, to run it on 4 GPUs you'll have to add 3 more workers, like this:
Code:
{"time":3,"commands":[
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]},
        {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","1"]},
        {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","2"]},
        {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","3"]}
]},

Here is another example of the config file: https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/blob/master/default_command_file.json
