Running minimserver from a ssh session everything seems to run properly and I installed minimwatch on a win7 x64 laptop to configure but the minimwatch icon stays grey I opened up the firewall from the server and the windows firewall but still no go
any ideas????

Did you start MinimServer using the autostart.sh script? This includes the --nohup option, which is needed on some versions of Linux to prevent the MinimServer process being terminated when the ssh window is closed.

As a first step in diagnosing the problem, you can login with ssh and use ps -ef to make sure the MinimServer process is running when you start MinimWatch on the laptop. If the MinimServer process is running, the next step is to run MinimWatch on the centos6 machine using another ssh window and see whether it can find the running MinimServer instance.
