If the client reboots and I login via PuTTY, should a regular mining log be appearing?
no, you can run "top" to see the cpu usage though
Thanks, are the 'kworker' entries the miner processes?
Also, after editing my crontab, do I press ESC, type ':x', ENTER to save it or is there another syntax when doing this in PuTTY?
I apologize if these questions seem silly; I have very little Linux experience.
After modifying, press esc key and type :wq, this writes to file and quits vim editor, you can do a sudo crontab -l to double check
