Thanks a lot! That clarifies things a lot for me.
Now, I was wondering, say if I want to start this without having to log on to my pc, every time it's turned on.
Does that script do it or do I need to do something else?

You just need to add the script inside this file: /etc/rc.local
(Make sure you do it before the exit call at the end  )
That will auto start your miner on boot.

I actually tried that...and it didn't work. Then I found out the script wasn't working.
I'm not sure what's wrong with it. I guess I should place the binary somewhere else, it's inside two folders inside my (non root) user's home folder.

I try to run it and it opens gedit, (despite the open as program option being selected), and if I run it from terminal I either get a terminated message or (last time I tried) an error message indicating that I couldn't have the log file saved there or something.

Suggestions?

Here are my scripts as is:

Script 1:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
~/primecoin/src/primeminer -pooluser=AT4iEgpfXBDqth1k8tQU5Bb57z9mchwgY9 -poolpassword=0 -poolip=beeeeer.org -poolport=1337 -genproclimit=8 -sievesize=1500000 -primes=2000000 -sieveextensions=7 -bits=10 -TargetInitialLength=7 -sievepercentage=5 -chainlength=10 >>~/primeminer.log 2>&1
Script 2:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
killall --older-than 30s -q run-primeminer.sh primeminer.sh
function background_loop
        while :; do
                ~/primeminer.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
                sleep 1
        done
background_loop &

just my 2 cents...

write a script like this

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

if ps ax | grep -v "grep" | grep "primeminer" > /dev/null
then
echo "looking good!"
else
echo "`date`: restarting"
nohup /home/user/bin/primeminer [your primeminer parameters here] > /dev/null &
fisave this script to: /home/user/bin/miner_run.sh
this will check if primeminer is running & restarts it if it's not running
be sure to change the path to the miner to the corresponding path of your setup

then just create a new cronjob with

Code: [Select]

> crontab -e(typically this will open a text editor like vi or nano, you'll have to figure out how to save the (crontab) file (e.g. CTRL+X))

add the line:

Code: [Select]

* * * * * /home/user/bin/miner_run.shexit & save, then the script (from above) will be executed once every minute (and when your machine restarts/boots)

done.

ps. correct me if something's wrong, i changed a few parts on-the-fly for simplification

Also, most recent update on git broke the OSX compilation.

Same error as here: http://ppcointalk.org/index.php?topic=485.msg3593#msg3593
I looked in the make file, but I couldn't figure out what had changed.

@xolokram, any word on this?

[ivanlabrie]

Thanks xolo, I'll try it as soon as possible and report back.

@xolokram, any word on this?

uh yeah, sorry, i think i missed that.

mh, you'll have to edit this locally for your system. i don't have a osx test system to test this (that's why it's broken i guess )

open main_poolminer.cpp
search for

Code: [Select]

#ifdef __MINGW__and delete everything between

Code: [Select]

#ifdef __MINGW__and

Code: [Select]

#endif //TODO: __APPLE__ ?
there must be two blocks in the code where this appears. then build. everything should be ok now.
this will remove the end summary from the miner, but i guess that's ok as long as the miner is mining.

UPDATE FOR v0.4 or higher:
search for

Code: [Select]

#if defined(__MINGW32__) || defined(__MINGW64__)instead of

Code: [Select]

#ifdef __MINGW__

It seems to be mining, thanks!

Hi , I know that by looking into the source i can find out about this but...

How many times (retries or timeout) the client tries to reconnect before shutting down ?
 

[xolokram]

the value is currently set to 3 @v0.3
and 4 @v0.4 *psht*

Just as a side note, i had to install libgmp-dev on debian 7 server to compile, that one is missing in https://github.com/thbaumbach/primecoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md

Why does it require all those db libs like a wallet? Haven't removed them yet? ^^

[xolokram]

primeminer (aka xolominer) needs prime.cpp & a small part from main.cpp
but they need util.cpp, bitcoinrpc...
and they depend on wallet.cpp, db, tx...
depending on key.cpp, leveldb & mem...

of course most of these are not 100% needed, but it takes some time to resolve all those dependencies, and this is really annoying work
thus it's currently low priority.

Working perfectly, thanks

[ivanlabrie]

I couldn't get it to work under ubuntu 13.04...I'll just open it manually for now.
Had trouble setting up the cronjob, but after doing so it seemed to do nothing.

Were you having trouble getting it to run all together or just with chron?
Because I use Xubuntu 13.04 (same as vanilla ubuntu but using xfce front end) and had no problem at all getting it compiled and running

[ivanlabrie]

I compiled it many times to test different instruction sets, but I couldn't set it up to start when turning the pc on, with no need to long on to my account.
I tried modifying a script posted by gigawatt at btctalk (noobproof src setup thingie) and it did work but I had trouble doing the whole thing (since it got stuck in the middle).

@mhps:
can you try to connect to the pool using port 13337 (without the ssh tunneling, if that is an option for you?!)

I get

Code: [Select]

PrimecoinMiner started
connecting to 5.45.100.191:11337
system:110
