The example string from the the first post. I now finally have it running (im an idiot was using "zero" instead of "oh" before the pool information.
I still need help figuring out how to create what I now know is called a SH or shell file (Batch in windows). I would like to be able to click in one place to fire things up.
open a text editor while in your cgminer folder, enter your parameters the way you would in a Windows batch file and when you are done, save the file as a .sh file instead of a .bat the way you would in Windows. FWIW, I have to run my .sh file as administrator (sudo) to make things happy. I'm no genius at non-Windows stuff, so I haven't tried to change anything to make it just run on a double click.
