AntMiner S1 SSH Command Help

[Prana199]

A guy who is apparently really good with this software shit gave me this advice - run this on your antminer s1 and it will give you stats on your miner every 30 minutes. This is the command he told me to insert (i think i am supposed to SSH into my antminer and insert this):
wget http://riv.as/antminer-stats.sh ; mv antminer-stats.sh /usr/bin/antminer-stats.sh ; echo "*/30 * *   *   *     /usr/bin/antminer-stats.sh" >> /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root

He says it does this:
will set up the script to run evey 30 minutes and create a file in /root/ named something like "Sun_Jun__1230_1-UTC-192.168.1.143"

What i want to know is if this command will affect my antminer or give him control of it or if it will do what he claims it to do.
Thanks guys!

If you just want to monitor it locally, you could try AntMiner Monitor (see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=596178.0).  This provides periodically an update of your S1 status, it is especially useful if you have a few Antminers.
There have been cases of Antminers being 'hijacked' to mine for others, so you should be cautious (first and easy step is to modify the password from the default 'root').

This script it just run cgminer-api and extract some details from api. As you describe it runs every 30 minutes from cron process.I do not know why is this useful to get this on screen and into file every 30 minutes. Just connect ro S1 and run cgminer-api and you will see what do you need at iven time. Or connect via GUI and that is the same or even more readable from miner status page.
