I have used other pools in the past too and I settled with Eligus because I trust it, well I did. Im still mining there I think, who knows? Something simple would keep me happy, like I said before in my question it seems strange that the whole thing was closed before the new one was ready. Why the rush?

I definitely want to stay with wizkid but the programmer that set up my miner has it running in Linux in the background. Without stats I cant tell if it is even running. But that is not wizkid's fault or problem, it is all the way mine.

Your programmer might have created a log file. Do

ps aux | grep cgminer

You should see one or two processes doing the mining (and the ps you just did).

Now put the number from the second column (its the process ID) into this command:

ls -lproc/[YOUR-PROCESS-ID/fd

This will list the files your miner script has open. Note that you will probably need root permissions for this command (use sudo or su or just log in as root). Look for one that looks like a log file!

What I see is this...

lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Feb 15 08:09 0 ->dev/null
l-wx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 15 08:09 1 ->var/log/cgminer.1.log
lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Feb 15 08:09 10 ->usr/bin/cgminer
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 15 08:09 2 -> socket:[27286]

So all I have to do now is

tail -fvar/log/cgminer.1.log

and I can see my stats locally.

Cleaned a little bit of nonsense out of this thread.  I hadn't had a chance to check in with this thread... nor did Bitcointalk feel like notifying me of new replies yet again... as I'm currently recovering from a failure of my main desktop machine.  Fortunately I keep frequent and decent backups, and nothing important was lost.  The downtime for my rebuild and recovery put me in a time crunch on non-Eligius projects, however, and I've had to double up my efforts to catch up.

I sincerely appreciate the patience and confidence of the users sticking with Eligius through this admittedly rough transition.  I honestly fully expected everything to be setup and ready to go in a reasonable amount of time, but that just hasn't happened as planned.  I'm nearly caught back up on non-Eligius work and will get back to the getting the new stats side of things working ASAP.

The Eligius back end database and reward system have been functioning normally, and all mining is being counted appropriately.  As always, the public-faced web services are not directly connected with the core database and are not required for mining operations to work.

Ok so when was the last block mined? what's the current pool luck?

Nice- very useful. I didn't even know that was an option.
The current seems like a long section compared to ones of recent.  

Are the new statistics pages going to happen anytime soon, I have mined in Elgius very very long time but I like to see if my miners are doing something or only wasting electricity??

Hm. The last block found was 449912 - over a month ago. Is this pool still running? Or has it just lost a lot of miners? Is there any way to get at least some basic stats? Thanks.

Hash rate has actually been pretty much steady, surprisingly.  So, thanks for putting up me and my pretty ridiculous delays here.  

I'm still working on getting things situated.  The person I had helping with the front end for the new stats decided to bail on me, which isn't helping.  Combine that with 80+-hour weeks on unrelated work and, well the issue on my end is kind of obvious.  Fortunate for me, personally, as I'm working on a pretty lucrative contract at the moment.  Unfortunate for Eligius since I just don't have the time to work on it like I need to.

I'm definitely taking a vacation after this contract is done.  An actual vacation with no work whatsoever to regain some sanity, and setting time aside to get Eligius back to top notch and then some before I take on additional work.

Still pretty confident that the new setup will sell itself to miners once it's all done.  I just regret having botched the time table on this so horribly.

That said, the pool is functioning, work is being counted, etc.  Hash rate is low enough that blocks can take a substantial amount of time, though, but they will be paid appropriately under the new reward system when found.
