Restart mining on card/driver failure

[vlascik]

Whenever a driver fails (unstable overclock, some driver issue), the mining stops, which could lead to significant losses.
This is pretty much the only reason I'd use Claymore, which handles this situation pretty well.

Isn't it a better way to fix the instability issue? ;-)

Overall I agree that an auto-restart feature would be awesome!

[vlascik]

That's not always immediately possible, these issues like to happen when you're asleep/away from the computer. Sometimes you don't notice even if you are on the computer. This lost me quite a few hours already.
Claymore restarts mining gratefully, newest version can even restart whole system if the speed is below a threshold (perfect when one of the cards died but will recover after a restart). Maybe it could also restart driver the way NvidiaInspector does? I'm sure there is some call for that.

Workaround : #199 (comment)

I believe now the issue have been solved #757 (added --exit parameter to exit whenever an error occurred).

[DeadManWalkingTO]

After #757 (added --exit parameter to exit whenever an error occurred) you can use a watchdog.

Try ETHminerWatchDogDmW Windows7/8/10 [32/64] & Linux (Any Dist/Any Ver/Any Arch) (#735).

Check and feedback please.
Thank you!

Is there a possibility to create a "system event" when one card hashrate goes to 0 (zero) so it may be captured by Windows or Linux in the "Event Viewer"?
