Title: Remote Miner Monitoring - Can it be done well?
Post by: bizaro on May 02, 2013, 03:53:12 AM
Hi,

I'm looking for a way to setup my 3 rigs (either to a master computer or via internet) so I can:
1) restart drivers (can be done via windows mouse control)
2) restart comp (must boot on startup and log in)
3) start stop cgminer  (same as 1)
4) monitory temp/hashrate (same as 1, but preferably not needing that route)

Anyone have similar needs or have met any of these?


I've used teamviewer a bit but it crashes my 7950 13.1 drivers sometimes upon creating connection (sys: 3x 7950, 8gb ram, >750 PSU).


What do you use?

Teamview doesn't consistently work when system is headless -> black screens upon connection which wont go away unless screen plugged in.

Dummy plugs. I have no problem at all running headless with one 100 ohm resistor.

Linux using ssh and screens?

This is my goal, I've yet to learn how to ssh.  Any guides/websites/help you'd recommend (I know I'm being lazy, I just don't have much time for another 2 weeks so direction is appreciated in the mean time)??

Sounds like I'm going to try this:

in the mean time, as after tomorrow morning I'll have the resistors, which completes all the supplies I need.

dummy plugs are quite an elegant improvised solution considering it'll cost practically nothing (9 resistors).

You really only need three, plus you don't need a vga/dvi adapter. Surly the card you mine with has DVI out right?

Simulating a load on one of the three color channels is adequate, this is how I do it to keep those big bulky vga adapters from blocking airflow.
