Instead of restarting cgminer use the API calls to add/remove pools? #8

Restarting cgminer is botchy at best. Most systems can't handle it without crashing.

So I'd suggest you add the option to add/stop/remove pools via API to a currently running cgminer.

The code for this could perhaps be borrowed from psheps ANUBIS project: https://github.com/pshep/ANUBIS

Cryptoswitcher is designed to be miner-agnostic. Miner operation is supposed to be entirely up to the user, cryptoswitcher's interaction stops where it runs the script that the user told it too.

Ok, fail from my part then.

Could you perhaps add a API script example for cgminer?

I wrote cgminer-monitor in python, it's a simple script that does various things. One of them is to restart cgminer from the API, if something is wrong. Hope it helps. https://github.com/shazbits/cgminer-monitor
