I have copied from the linuxcoin-thread, to keep this where it shoud be. ;-)

have everything up and running since some days and I am very happy with LinuxCoin. Smiley Really good work. Thank you for that!!

Anyway I still have some little questions.

One is regarding a little error which seem not to affect the mining process, but anyway I would like to know if this is normal behavior or if I can do anything to fix it.
During mining with smartcoin failover sometimes appearing this:
Code:
/opt/smartcoin/smartcoin_status.sh: line 151: [[: 10 10 10: syntax error in exp)

What does that mean?

Its caused from multiple entries being present in the database (this was from a bug, there should have only been one entry in the database). It is fixed in latest experimental releases, and I'd recommend that you update by:
1) Go to the control screen -> Edit Settings then change the development branch from 'stable' to 'experimental'
2) Use the Update function from the control screen - this should take give you a partial update to r607.  Restart smartcoin and run the  update again to go from r607 to the latest release.  There are many many new features and improvements (including a completely revamped settings engine, multi-machine support, poclbm support and a lot more).  Not only will you have the latest code, but your multiple database entries will be fixed in the process!


Feel free to post any smartcoin related questions in the smartcoin thread as I monitor it closely for support issues!
Thank you for your answer. I have done the update and the version is now 607s but the error is still there.


Run one more update - this should bring you to r643 (r607 is termed a "breakpoint update", which means its an update which requires a smartcoin restart before updating beyond this point. I will be making this more clear in the future, and possibly even automating the process of restarting smartcoin and continuing the update).
After this update, a restart of smartcoin should fix the problem. There is new database validation and sanity checking code in changes made after r607 which will automatically fix this issue.

Please report back and let me know how it goes
