in response to anyone using bminer just because its more stable than dstm or vice versa. theres another option which i feel is way better than expecting the mining program's watchdog to work 100% bug free.

arcefawn made a nice open source FREE watchdog script that works for several miners. its a simple script that you edit how you want to work (he has simple instructions in the cfg file.) very straight forward and works with dstm, bminer, ewbf, claymore, ccminer, ethminer, phoenix, cast xmr, and hes adding more all the time.

his script monitors the mining console and resets the miner if it crashes. it monitors your hashrate so if its reporting lower like some gpu's are reporting too low of a hashrate, it can restart the miner. it can reload your overclocking profiles if you set it to. you can set a schedule on how often to restart the miner or the pc. you also has pool fallover support to 5 pools set in your cfg file so if you lose connection you're not mining for nothing.

its really a great script and the guy is nice enough to give it away for free. totally worth sending him a donation and then not having to worry about your miner(s) going down
