Or in other words, when ive started mining on one SSH session can I close it down, or do I need to have 4 SSH clients running?

Just to add to this guide, if anyone tried this, you would have noticed that when you are mining , if you close the ssh session, when you ssh back in, u realise that the mining stops, the solution :

Use tmux, it allows you to continue mining even if ssh is off.

Before you type in the mining code type this

Code:
tmux

You should see a windows with a green line at the bottom of your ssh window

Proceed to type your normal mining code

If you want to close your ssh session, press the following keyboard keys

CRTL-B followed by D

You should see the green bottom bar disappear, do not worry, your mining is still running in the back end

now close your ssh session

When you ssh back in, type the following to reopen the tmux window that is still running your mining

Code:
tmux attach -t 0

RUNNING MINING EVEN WHEN YOU ARE NOT SSHing IN WILL EAT UP ALOT OF "COMPUTE HOURS", if YOU GET CHARGED ALOT BY AMAZON,  I BEAR NO RESPONSIBILITIES.
