Hi.
I read the "readme" file, and as I understand it, there is no option in the miner config that would be possibility run *.bat file (like reboot.bat) upon reaching the specified target hashrate like in trex "--script-low-hash" ?
(sorry for my English)


It sounds like you need these options:

Code:
  -wdog 1
  -rmode 2

# -wdog <n>

#    Enable watchdog timer: 1 - yes, 0 - no (1 is the default).
#   The  watchdog timer checks periodically if any of the GPUs freezes and
#    if it does, restarts the miner (see the "-rmode" command-line  parameter for the restart modes)

# -rmode <n>

#    Selects the restart mode when a GPU crashes or freezes:
#   :0:     disabled - miner will shut down instead of restarting
#   :1: restart miner with the same command line options - this is the default
#   :2: reboot   (shut down miner and execute "reboot.bat")



They work perfectly for me on Windows when a GPU freezes. You must have a reboot.bat file in the miner's directory.



I configured this option on all my rigs on phoenix ("-wdog 1", "-rmode 2" and "reboot.bat>>shutdown /r /t 5 /f"), yes, works perfectly, but it's not that what I need.
The problem is, I have a rig on MB Asrock H110 Pro BTC+ and VC 8x XFX RX580 8G, after rebooting rig (for power issue or just reboot from windows) in case of 50/50, it's randomly happening, one of cards is not defined, just disappears from system, it's can be any of eight cards, so problem is not in cards or risers, maybe prolem is in MB. After the start of all eight cards, rig works stable for many days.
That's why i need this option in miner, 8 cards has hashrate 242MH on ETC, if after start miner hashrate is lower than I set, lets says 238, system will reboot until card will back in system again and hashrate will be higher than I specified.
sorry for my english, again Smiley

Check the bios for a delay in boot time.  I have some boards that let me set up to several seconds delay before boot.  Ive always used the longest delay to allow the pcie bus to read all cards on my 13 gpu rigs.  Hope it helps you.
