I don't see any mention of the smolt cron job or the smolt service (rcsmolt).
Me neither.
I don't know what I have to do to start it.
Once again: smoltSendProfile
it is one time task.
What about /usr/bin/smoltGui?
Do you need profiler that can pickup all information at once to run as demon, or cron job? No you don't. It is not computer usage profiler, it is hardware data collector and reporting tool. The same as if you would run "hwinfo" and post results on the web page. The only difference is that smolt picks much lesser, and it is the same data in any distro.
nevertheless, see the file list: /etc/cron.d/smolt <======= * /etc/init.d/smolt <======= /etc/smolt /etc/smolt/config.py /etc/smolt/uuid * /usr/bin/rcsmolt * /usr/bin/smoltDeleteProfile * /usr/bin/smoltGui What are they for? ...
That part I understand, but I don't know what I have to do before that. That's assuming I already have a profile, it explains how to get the password for the profile I should already have - and I haven't a profile.
That wiki needs a dumbs guide. I'm dumb now. >:-)
It doesn't explain how to run it the first time, nor how or what to configure. What about the cron job? What about the service? What are they for?

Yeah, right :-)
Another question I don't understand: how is that project going to know that the several linux installs I have are on the same machine?
Yes it will be counted if you send profile.
So it is a problem, stats will skew. Stats can not be used to tell makers "see, we have so many users" (http://www.linux.com/feature/118322, search the word "nvidia"). - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
