Mining Overlord is a Python based program that periodically tests to see if a mining application (like cgminer or bfgminer) has stopped responding. This programs sole purpose it to maximize up-time for crypto coin mining operations. If it detects a non-response, it will restart the application automatically. It also features a configurable restart timer that automatically kills and relaunches the mining process at a set interval.

This program is cross-platform compatible and has been tested on:
Windows XP/Vista/7
Linux (Ubuntu 12.04 and Raspian)
Mac OS 12.04

It requires that Python 2.7.3 or above be installed on the host to run.

Currently, Mining Overlord only supports installations where one instance of the mining software is running.

Threshold-based alerts flag problems early, so your team can act before users notice, not after.

Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.
