 +==== MIRC-X CredoneImAcq Server ====
 +
 +The MIRC-X CredoneImAcq server and GUI can be opened using the "credone" icon on the wolverine desktop. Note that you can only have one of these open at a time. If you get an error message and can't bring up credone, then close the error message and follow the steps below to remove the dead processes first:
 +
 +From a terminal window, log on to mircx (old observe password):\\
 +ssh -X spooler@mircx
 +
 +Look up credone process:\\
 +ps aux | grep credone
 +
 +Kill all credone processes (including the ones for the error messages) using "kill -9 PID" where PID is the process number. Note that credone can't be restarted if there are any error processes in the list. Check "ps aux | grep credone" one more time to make sure all processes are cleared (the only one that should show up is the grep command that was just issued).
 +
 +Then restart credone using the desktop icon or by issuing the following command on spooler@mircx:\\
 +credoneImAcq –no-display
 +
 +(the first "–" should be two dashes: - and -).
