Fiddlefingers Cast-xmr Hash rate monitor and restart Tool. Version 0.2
Created due to the stability issue with the Vega GPU's and Cast-XMR and not wanting to constantly monitor the system manually.
Code idea derived from @JerichoJones "JJ-s-XMR-Stack-HashRate-Monitor-and-Restart-Tool" --> https://github.com/JerichoJones/JJ-s-XMR-STAK-HashRate-Monitor-and-Restart-Tool.
Cast-xmr has the tendency to crash, hang, or fail at times. Over time the program tends to drop in hash rate or a card stops working. This leads to losing valuble mining time until you notice and restart Cast-xmr. Cast also does not have a log system which can lead to one wondering how long cast has not been working or why it stopped.
I created this program to monitor cast and restart if certain criteria are not met. Hopefully this give users some peace of mind that their mining rigs are running correctly. This program will also create a log file if allowing one to go back and see what the miner was doing.
If you feel this program has helped you I would apreaciate a donation which will allow me to update and improve the program. Possibly, even add more functions over time.
