Greetings...I have installed and configured the pcmonitor service and config file as per instructions and when I start the service all looks well but when I type in status command I get 

 
root@raspberrypi:~# /etc/init.d/pcmonitor status
[FAIL] pcmonitor is not running ... failed!
 
 
But when I type in restart command it look good
 
root@raspberrypi:~# /etc/init.d/pcmonitor restart
[ ok ] Restarting pcmonitor: pcmonitor.
 
I do not see the system listed obviously on my account.
 
Any help would be appreciated

 

Hello,

 

Can you check the logs with: cat /var/log/syslog | grep pcmonitor

  • Author

I am a Linux noob...

I entered the text and it went to a prompt with no response.  I then changed my directory to cd var log and did a vi on syslog and there is a lot of data in there.  Do you want to see that here?

If you got no response for cat /var/log/syslog | grep pcmonitor, it means you have no such errors. 

Can we get more details on your system : which os for raspberry , the output for uname -a , the config file you are using (remove sensitive data ) .

Also make sure pcmonitor is running by issuing ps aux | grep pcmonitord

ok got it to run...did not realize you had to put username/password in 2 different places in config file.

thanks for your help!

Hey mhsears1!

 

What would that second place to fill in username/password be? I have the same problem you described, and I can't find another instance to fill in login data in the config file. Thanks!

There is no "second place to fill in username/password".

In config.xml this is the only place where you need to put credentials :

 
<Account Username="username" Password="password" UseCustomServer="false" CustomServerAddress="" />
