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.

started minimserver
[root@server data]# java -jar ../lib/minimserver.jar
MinimServer 0.72, Copyright © 2012, 2013 Simon Nash. All rights reserved.
starting MinimServer
Enter command (? for help), or null to exit:
MinimServer[server.ourhome.net] is running
>?
Commands:
stop stops the media server without exiting the application
restart restarts the stopped or running media server
props shows current properties for the media server
prop n=v sets media server property name n to value v
about shows version and status information for the media server
sleep t delays execution for t seconds (can be useful for scripting)
exit (or null line) exits the media server application
help (or ?) displays this information


started minimwatch
java -jar ../lib/minimwatch.jar

Commands:

refresh refreshes the status of all media servers

ran ps -ef

root 18157 18033 2 08:44 pts/1 00:00:04 java -jar ../lib/minimserver.jar
root 18207 18141 0 08:46 pts/2 00:00:00 java -jar ../lib/minimwatch.jar

so they're both running but as you can see from the minimwatch console output it doesn't see the minimserver. Does minimserver bind to a specific interface?
