I’ve noticed that when power is pulled on the S9’s, the hive agent does not always (or even often) come back to life gracefully.
If you are having this issue, and you have confirmed the S9 is mining (confirmed on the status page), then the following fix will apply:
-
SSH to the box and navigate to the /hive/bin folder
-
Execute the agent-screen command. You will likely notice something like this:
agent-screen
There is a screen on:
30246.agent (Dead ???)
Remove dead screens with 'screen -wipe'.
There is no screen to be attached matching agent.
- Execute the scree -wipe command. This should show you a “(removed)” response (shown below):
screen -wipe
There is a screen on:
30246.agent (Removed)
- Relaunch the hive agent by issuing the “hive” command.
Everything should come back online. If you’re doing this over and over (as I am when power is cut or the unit is rebooted), you can skip step #2 above.
Does anyone know if there is a perm fix to this or to kill my curiosity, what the screen -wipe, agent-screen etc commands even do? All I know is they fix this problem
