i didn't say it was ck's fault, im just asking if there's a solution to this problem if anyone else has come across it as well.
I have been told to use a program called cgwatcher to monitor cgminer & if it zombies it will auto restart cgminer. haven't tested that theory yet, but before i do i thought i would ask if there was any other solution.
When you say squelching messages, what do you mean? i think the only message i have seen is something to do with no response from head then it say's zombie, sorry i didn't really pay much attention, was just concerned the sierra had knocked off & i rapidly restarted everything to get it back up and running
