i looked into the crashing, it has nothing to do with Power. both my hubs can provide enough power, i have stress tested it with plugging 3 Moonlanders 2s into 1 Hub, this ran fine without any speed drop. I now have 2 Hubs running 2 moonlanders each.

i wanted to know if anyone has managed to write a Crontab script that restarts the SH file every 1 or 2 hours? if so how did you do it! any help would be great.

You might want to look into timeout, it should do what you are looking for. Basically run your script in a construct like this:

Code:
while true; do timeout 7200 /path/to/your/script-executable; sleep 3; done

HTH

while true; do timeout 7200 /home/pi/miner/bfgminer_5.4.2-futurebit2_linux_armv6/start_moonlander2.sh; sleep 3; done

Timeout: failed To run Command '/home/pi/miner/bfgminer_5.4.2-futurebit2_linux_armv6/start_moonlander2.sh': No Such File or Directory?

Please help!!

Can anyone please give an example of running a cron job for BFGminer on RPI to close and reopen every hour.

i have a sh file with this in

#!/bin/bash
./bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:20460 -u xxx.miner1 -p miner1,d=128 -S ALL --set MLD:clock=600

Any help for a Linux noob would be great, a lot of people i know with RPI are having issues with the moonlanders randommly just hash at 0 mh/s until the software is restarted.

Kind Regards

Hey Guys, i have a question!

I have 4 moonlanders on my RPI which seem to crash every few hours.. i am not a linux user and have very little understanding how to write scripts etc.

has anyone managed to get the RPI to restart and run the script file every hour using Grome Schedule or Cron tab? if so could you please provide your command preview. i know a lot of people are having issues getting the start_moonlander2.sh to work 24/7.

i have been googling around and found no real support! Sad i know some people in here are scripting masterminds!

any help would be great, i am a complete noob! i have both the softeare installed and know how to open them also i can jiggle the file paths to point towards where things are installed.

Cheers

Paul

Hey Everyone,

another quick question, i have 4 moonlanders on my RPI running, i am having a issue where after a few hours the start_moonlander2.sh freezes and stops hashing.. does anyone know how to write a Cronjob tab so that the SH script can close once every hour and restart?

if anyone could give me an example of how i should setup in the configure scheduled tasks within Gnome Schedule 2.1.1 GUI

Any help would be really appreciated.



Maybe you could follow this thread to have it auto run after reboot in detached screen and then just set up a cron job every xx hours to 'sudo reboot'




do you know if its possible to do it without having to reboot the PI, i see in this guys thread that it will execute the script while the PI is booting, i would like the script to boot within the Pi desktop not before as i would like the command window to be displayed?

regards

Paul
