Re: CGWatcher 1.3.4, the GUI/monitor for CGMiner and BFGMiner to prevent downtime
A feature request I have is we can give the GPU's a custom name on the devices tab, i run different branded cards & have a bad memory & poor handwriting
I like the idea. I'll put it on the list, but no guarantee on how soon I'll be able to get to it.
Send u an email a couple days milone. Don't know if u received it.
If I don't get back to you within a few days please email me again. I don't know whose brilliant idea it was to maintain two programs at the same time... but at least I never get a chance to be bored any more.
I've noticed already twice in the past two days that CGminer.exe was killed by CGWatcher after which CGminer was restarted but only an empty DOS box appeared.
Then CGWatcher appeared to be stuck as I could only see an empty CGWatcher window. I closed the DOS box and CGWatcher "unfroze" and Cgminer restarted again and started mining.
I'll make a screenshot next time this happens.
My miner was down for 8 hours because of this.
(This is what I was hoping CGWatcher would prevent from happening.)
I've set the option to always kill cgminer.exe instead of shutdown command.
I'm using 3 XFX R9 290's on an Asus B85-Plus mobo with 8GB and an Intel i3 cpu powered by 1200W Club3D psu.
Windows 7 x64, CGminer3.7.2, CGWatcher1.3.4
If after killing CGminer.exe a pause of like 5 seconds is implemented before CGminer.exe is restarted by CGWatcher, would that maybe solve the problem?

If the miner is just a blank window for more than 60 seconds upon starting, CGWatcher should kill it and try launching again. This number of seconds can be changed by going to the Monitor tab, then the Other sub-tab. The setting is called "Kill miner and try again if mining hasn't started within X seconds". If this didn't work or I am not understanding you correctly, please let me know. You mention you noticed it happened twice... are there other times where it works without incident?
Which Coin should i set, when i mine multipool.us?
i can't set a shedule action when i don't set all coins to the profiles.
does it matter or not which coin i choose?
i want to switch every 24h hours between HBN and Multipool
thanks

You can create scheduled actions to switch to specific profiles, as well as profiles based on profitability. So you can create a scheduled action to switch to the Multipool profile, and then another action to switch to most profitable profile. You can create them 24 hours apart and set them to run at 48 hour increments, or create a scheduled action for each day of the week, alternating the profile for each day.
