run (optional) 

chkconfig --level 35 vncserver on

start vncserver: 

systemctl start vncserver.service

Edit ~/.vnc/xstartup, comment the following line. 

#unset SESSION_MANAGER

watchdog

see: http://www.gieseke-buch.de/raspberrypi/eingebauten-hardware-watchdog-zur-ueberwachung-nutzen (german!)

modprobe bcm2708_wdog

echo "bcm2708_wdog" > /etc/modules-load.d/bcm2708_wdog

yum install watchdog

nano /etc/watchdog.conf

Diese Datei enthält bereits eine ganze von Einstellungen, die aber (fast) alle auskommentiert (#) sind. Zusätzlich sollten Sie diese beiden vorhandenen Zeilen aktivieren, indem Sie das # am Anfang entfernen:

watchdog-device = /dev/watchdog
max-load-1 = 24

/etc/init.d/watchdog start

!! configuration for HPCClient and HPCServer will be added soon !!
