Is there a way to start ckkolivas' cgminer (currently 3.7.2) and have it stay running after closing the Putty window?

I can get it running, but when I close Putty, cgminer quits too.

Thanks.

Though on a side note my hardware error rate is slowly creeping back up to 6.8 already. Going to try and downgrade to 9.6.1 my self and see if its any better.

Also bear in mind that if the hashrate looks higher artificially on the kncminer version, then the hardware error % rate will also look artificially lower.

Thanks... So i take it i have to keep putty running to keep this version of cgminer? i notice when i close putty my miner stops and i got to reboot it to get it back online again. Or is there a way to run this so i don't have to have my laptop on? Also is there a way so it starts with this version after a restart? thanks

If you start cgminer with this instead:

Code:

screen -dm ./cgminer -c /config/cgminer.conf

it will start in the background in a "screen session" so it will keep running.

Then you can "attach" to the screen with

Code:

screen -d -r

[/b]
to see what's happening

Even if you close your ssh session or putty it will keep on running.

Precisely what I was looking for. Much obliged!

This reference might me helpful as well.

I gave it before -- but the thread gets pretty polluted and it can be hard to find.

I usually just do a screen -r command after logging in.
Then when I want to leave CGMiner I just issue a "CTRL-A d" set of keystrokes which exits to a prompt.

Then I just close the putty screen.

For me that works.
