watchdog does not work

[Optimusjuju]

The minor crash at random on random, I would like to know they was your solution?

WIN 10 15.12 AND 16.1.1

[ofpcarnage]

add -f 2 -z 1 to your script

[Optimusjuju]

Merci, Thank's you

[DefiantMiner]

Yeah...same here. All machines have gpus that go to 0S/s and no "auto-fix". Machines: Win10, 6xRX470
@ofpcarnage Adding -f 2 CAUSES EXIT on failure. Why the heck are you recommend that?

[mo35]

-f 2 actualy helps at given time , just run miner in loop . something like this

title MinerX
:start
genoil -c pool.whatever.com:XXXX -u wallet.worker -p x -g 0 1 2 X -f 2 (if necesarry add/change platform switch -P 0 or 1)
timeout /T 5
goto start

I have it on a respawn timer but since it takes 3-4mins to just load the binaries for 6gpus...I'd be spending more time booting the miner than actually hashing.

that bat file tends to crash after a few hours. So try this rather.

@echo off
:check
tasklist /FI "imagename eq genoil.exe" | find /I /N "genoil.exe" >NUL
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="1" start genoil.exe -c eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u Address.worker -p x -i 20 -w 64 -P 0 -k zec -f 2 -z 1
timeout /t 2 /nobreak

goto :check

pause

[pelelademadera]

thats my scrypt, the problem is that genoil sometimes fail, and sometimes get 0 S/s and dont fail, so I restart it every 1200 sec or 20 minutes, one script for each gpu so I can see it, and the commands is for start minimized and dont apear in screen

:restart
start /min "GPU0" cmd /C start.bat
TIMEOUT /T 3
start /min "GPU1" cmd /C start2.bat
TIMEOUT /T 3
start /min "GPU2" cmd /C start3.bat
TIMEOUT /T 1200
taskkill /f /im genoil.exe
TIMEOUT /T 3
goto restart

My have a log file for jy genoil 0.6. it is really random how ot restarts.

It's on a respawn timer but limping along on ONE gpu for the rest of the period is killing my effective hash rate. Note the watchdogs activate...but do nothing.

Hope this helps diagnose and fix.

@pelelademadera Stability is very much improved when running 6 separate processes (one per gpu) than running a single process with all 6 gpus. The binary load time is instant with separate processes as well. So, to maximize output, I have the script re-spawning all 6 processes every 15min to catch any strays that may drop off. This seems to be the only way to maximize multi gpu output with the current software.
