Re: ANTMINER S3 Discussion and Support Thread.

One of mine is acting up (an S3) and I've set it to reboot every 2 hours:

* 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22 * * * /sbin/shutdown -reboot

Might be simpler as:

0 */2 * * * /sbin/shutdown -reboot

Thanks for the suggestion. Implemented. I freely admit to knowing just enough about crontab to be dangerous.

If you implemented this verbatim you might want to confirm that your Antminer actually has an "/sbin/shtudown" command, I know mine don't, only poweroff and reboot

I've had an ssh session open to the S3 for not quite 24 hours now which tells me it's not actually rebooting, but for some unknown and I don't care reason it appears to have solved the problem and the S3 has continued to hash uninterrupted.
