Title: What's your preferred way of remotely managing a mining rig?
Post by: photon on May 04, 2013, 02:21:33 AM
I know there are several ways of doing this, but wanted to hear from others about what they thought worked best for them. SSH? Remote Desktop? Logmein?

Also related, any tips on setting up a machine to auto reboot if it freezes up? Is that even possible?

I am also interested in setting up a miner!

If Linux, SSH. I mine on my gaming system so I use VNC (for some reason, cgminer won't run properly in a cygwin SSH session).

You can set things to reboot on many crashes. Freezes are more tricky. You can get network connected power switches if you're really that serious about it.

Teamviewer FTW!

VNC tunnelled through SSH. It's slower than RDP but you can't directly access your GPU's in an RDP session AFAIK so CGMiner doesn't work (at least I couldn't find the right local policies to get it to work).

I use TeamViewer in Windows7.

I've always used VNC, just seems to work and you can use the one client to access windows/unix systems
