    For some reason, one of my 5850 cards drops off and stops mining at random intervals between a couple of hours and a couple of days. It's not due to overclocking since it does it even at stock speeds. Not due to heat, temps are around 53C while mining.

    So here's my kludge to get around this and not have to check on the miner all the time:

    crontab -e
    add line:
    Code:
    @hourly      /etc/init.d/mine restart
    Save. Done.
    It restarts the mining process every hour. So far it works like a charm.

    that'll work, but it sounds like you've got a defective card.  if under warranty i would return it.

    also, why isn't the automatic dead miner detection taking care of this for you?  it does exactly the same thing as a mine restart, and does it every time you go X seconds without a share... is that not set up, or is it really not working?
