DISCLAIMER I’m not a certified financial planner/advisor nor a certified financial analyst nor an economist nor a CPA nor an accountant or a lawyer. I’m not a finance professional through formal education. I am just a hacker.
I am unsure of my reboot scripts at this moment, or if the new XMR / Monero miner, MoneroOcean.stream’s new XMRig miner I installed is the cause of the problem. My “rigs” just keep dropping off the reporting websites for both, and no apparent proof of work, but I know they are on.
The XMRig appears to not stay running, and I am growing SICK of checking on the miner manually for an application I would expect to not be babysat and have to manually launch the program.
Their custom XMR app “should just work”. We have heard this before, no?
Is this a cause of instability because migrated from the initial XMR Mining from SupportXMR.com with their own miner, or due to switching to MoneroOcean.stream pool and their XMR/Monero engine? This is the whole reason I guess why to test out crypto open source technology.
I don’t know yet. The jury is out. One would want to think that this is an isolated impedance to earning.
But what I am automating is something you and as a system administrator might want or need to implement and tweak. Not for a reboot exactly, or maybe; but just a nightly and weekly automated job.
I have at the moment 16 XMRRigs. I just added 6 GPU/ETH. I don’t have time to dilly with this.
Now, as you – “the administrator”, you need to go get a refill of coffee!

Edit your Linux/Unix “crontab” with sudo/admin rights and preferably VIM or what you are comfortable with.
sudo crontab -e
