Guys I using few weeks PhoenixMiner on six pc with RTX3070.
After every few days on +- 2 pieces PhoenixMiner crash, and close from running applications phoenixminer.exe.
This is doing only sometimes, randomly, always only on a few pieces, not always on same computers.
All six computers are identical, same windows, same updates, same applications, same hardware specs (W10+5800H+RTX3070+16GB+1TB).
Via MSI Afterburner I only downlocked GPU Core, GPU MEM is left on default speed, no OC.
My computers run always +- 2days at a time. After these 2 days are switched to WindowsSleepMode for +- 8hours. And after again start mining for +-2 days at a time.
Now my computers have vbs script/file in windows startup folder, for automatical launch bat file for PhoenixMiner.
So today I migrate for test 1 computer to T-Rex, because I read that T-Rex have function watchdog, if app T-Rex crash or stop correctly works that app be restarted.
Works this function watchdog as I mean?
And is this function watchdog automatical turn-on in trex or I must write some specific parametr into bat file?
Thank you all what have more experience with T-Rex for any tip/help. 👍
hi, from description
--no-watchdog Disable built-in watchdog (watchdog enabled by default )
--watchdog-exit-mode Specifies the action "A" the watchdog should take if the miner gets restarted "N" times
within "M" minutes.
Format: N:M:A. Valid values:
N: any positive integer,
M: any positive integer,
A: r(system reboot), s(system shutdown), e(miner exit)
Actions "r" and "s" require running the miner with administrative privileges.
Examples:
20:10:s - watchdog will shutdown the system if the miner gets restarted 20 times
within any 10 minute interval
5:7:r - watchdog will reboot the system if the miner gets restarted 5 times
within any 7 minute interval
## Watchdog
Watchdog is intended to observe miner state and restart T-Rex if it crashes or hangs for any reason.
Also, watchdog can optionally perform auto updates if a newer version is available.
We recommend using the watchdog to avoid any downtime in mining and make sure your GPUs are busy 24/7.
If you do need to disable the watchdog, you can do so using `--no-watchdog` parameter.
Hi, thanks for your post. So I can set watchdog: disable autoupdates but enabled trex application restart if crash or stop works right?
