For any others having the same trouble I had, the Linux agent runs the miner software using the screen utility, which isn't installed by default in Ubuntu.  Just do
Code:
sudo apt install screen
and you should be good to go.

Has anyone had luck with the remote agent for Linux?  I installed the agent on a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 install but I'm having some trouble getting a miner to start.

Downloaded and installed according to the docs at https://support.awesomeminer.com/support/solutions/articles/35000086210-remote-agent-for-linux
Exception: installed in /usr/local/awesomeminer-remoteagent/ and updated awesome.service accordingly.

Agent starts and can be seen by my server, but starting any mining software fails.  Diagnostics shows Failed to start miner process: No such file or directory (full output pasted below).  It looks like the miner is being downloaded to an absolute path (/AwesomeMinerService/t-rex-0.5.6-linux-cuda9.1_1/) but the agent is looking for it using a relative path.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
