Since my batch 2 units came, and they seem to be quite a bit more finicky on overclocking, I've written a php script that keeps an eye on them and restarts them if they end up failing.
To configure, just change the miners IP's, user name, password, and threshold.
Requirements:
- PHP webserver with sockets enabled and phpseclib library
- Z9s need to be on your network or locally accessable
Other fun stuff included: There's a couple logging functions that will dump your hashrate stats into some CSV's. I use them to make pretty charts.
https://i.imgur.com/JAviVIA.pngRandom notes... this restarts any machine with a 'failed' ASIC chain or one that has been powered on for more than 2 minutes and doesn't meet your threshold value, it will then restart it via SSH with the phpseclib library. It pulls all stats with the default enabled CGMiner API, so you don't need to enable anything for that to work. It actually pulls all the API info, so there's much more info available than what I'm using.
And if you do it right, you'll end up with something like:
https://i.imgur.com/T3jRoWt.pngset_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . 'phpseclib');
include('phpseclib/Net/SSH2.php');
header('refresh:600; url=index.php'); //change this to change the refresh in seconds (how often you want it to check on your machines)
date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');

I won't be providing any support for this, but I can answer any simple questions.
