Script that will reboot PC on specific GPU temp

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1052 / 1 Year ago, sat, may 27, 2023, 7:31:18

Recently I've started mining litecoins. My miner consists of 3 Radeon R9 290x GPUs. From time to time one of them (not a specific one, it happens randomly) stops mining. Usually restarting cgminer (mining program) doesn't help, the only thing that helps is reboot. Next week I'm leaving for 8 days and I have nobody to do that for me so I thought of a script that would do that automatically.

The script would have to periodically verify if all GPUs are working and if not - reboot.
I think temperature reading is the easiest thing to determine if all cards are working. I know how to read temperature, reboot, add stuff to cron. What I don't is how to put it all together.

Get temperature command:

 aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all | grep Sensor:

Output looks like this:

 Sensor: Temperature - 77.00 C

 Sensor: Temperature - 77.00 C

 Sensor: Temperature - 77.00 C

I would like the script to read the numerical value and reboot if it drops below XX.

Can you please help me out?

Save this a script and make it executable (chmod +x scriptname.sh) and run it with bash using sudo as reboot requires root.

#! /bin/bash

while :

do

    temp=$(aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all | grep Sensor: | sed 's/[a-zA-Z:-]//g'|  tr -d ' ')



    action=$(echo $temp|awk '{ print ($1 < 76) ? "reboot" : "" }')



    $action

    sleep 1

done

I have not tested it with the ATI command as I don't have access to the command, but it works replacing aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all | grep Sensor: with echo 'Sensor: Temperature - 77.00 C'. This was how I tested it.

The 76 is the restart temp. You can edit that.
