Monitoring and remote management:
If you try to run aticonfig or launch a miner over SSH, it won't work because the ssh session's "display" doesn't have a GP
If you are running LinuxCoin, you can try this (you have to be root)
Create a file called "env.sh" containing what follows
#!/bin/bash
ID=`ps axf | grep '\_ lxpanel' | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}' | head -1`
cat /proc/$ID/environ | tr '\000' '\012' | grep -v PATH | grep -v SUDO | grep -v TERM | grep -v PWD | grep -v _= | sed -e 's/^/export /'
then, in your shell, type:
bash env.sh >TEMP
source TEMP
you should then be able to launch your miners
and the AMD control utility from an ssh session.
to your .bashrc script that is sourced every time you login. All of my miners are offsite, and I have no problems launching mining clients on any of them without jumping through all those hoops! Unless there's something specific in LinuxCoin that requires all that; I personally use Ubuntu.
