    dkeav.webhop.net/scripts/fah.tar.gz

    extract and place on a floppy or usbdisk, plug into a xp machine and run fah.bat, you must know the administrator password so no cheating you sneaky monkies, get permission or dont do it

    the installer will copy and install FAH into %PROGRAMFILES%\FAH and install F@H as a background service

    besure to edit the client.cfg file to get the credit or else the machine you add will upload as foobar (36480)

    open in notepad only on windows, or vi/nano/whatever in *ix

    have fun


    PS: windowskey +r a:\fah.bat

    dkeav, dkeav2, whatever you're calling yourself (forgot you're password? ) is it possible to get a version that'll run off of a USB stick without installing to local?

    so i can fold at school, when i have access to one of the computers... WinXP boxen, fairly powerful actually... i would have to set it up w/ no deadlines WU's but still....

    it may help me a little..

    I'm in, I think.

    I guess it takes some time before your userid shows up in the team list.

    After I convinced my fingers to push the enter key, after I typed in ./FAH502-Linux.exe, I got this. As you can see, it didn't connect to the assignment server right away.

    After that, the "Finished a frame"s have been incrementing since early this afternoon.
    (I don't understand, exactly, this in the output:
    [19:17:29] Working on Unit 01 [March 25 19:17:29]
    [19:17:29] + Working ...
    My clock is set ok and I started around, ok, probably, 13:19:00. Maybe that's GMT. I'm in Texas.)

    Anyway, does all that look normal in the txt file?

    This machine is a PIII, 866Mhz with 1GB RAM running slackware 10.0.

    Thanks...

    ...just finished frame (32)...

    Yes, your name doesn't show up in the teeamlist until you have finished folding your first protein.

    Well, your f@h seems to work properly, but your project is rather "weird". I get an output like those on page six on this thread where it say what core it uses and which protein it's folding.

    These proteins are kinda complex and it's time consuming to do what they want to do with them. If it were fast and easy it probably wouldn't have become a distributed project like it is right? I just hit 20,000 and that's been an average of 3 machines folding constantly since mid December and a couple other machines folding a few hours a week. It definately takes time. Wanna fold faster? Add more machines!

    That's the plan!
    Just bought a new UPS and a KVM. I have 3 older machines just sitting around. Thought I would hook 'em up over in the corner and let 'em rip!

    Just curious about another thing. OK, I downloaded the FAH file and then started the executable with the "./", and now it's off and running on my slack machine. This morning we had some big thunderstorms roll through. If we had lost power and my UPS kicked in, how would I gracefully stop the FAH processing until the power was restored. Ctrl-C would seem to be the only option there to stop it. Or, I guess, open a new terminal and do a shutdown. Maybe that would gracefully terminate the FAH process, eh? And then, of course, I assume that, once restarted, it would pick up where it left off ??

    Thanks...

    I just use C-c to stop it. But I don't do that very often. It's pretty bright and figures out where it was when it last ran. It's a pretty well written non-obtrusive piece of software. You do have to start it again of course unless you add it to your start process.

    morphius yea just go to folding homepage and download the console version of the client, put it in a folder on your jump drive and double click when you run it, during the initial config you might change the update interval to something like 5-10 so you dont lose 15 minutes worth of data when you yank the disk, i tested this before hand works fine, i can give you a sample client.cfg if you are not sure of what options to use


    as for the dkeav2 thing, when i left jl.com i was pissed at the mod situation, and locked myself out, i guess i could resume my old account if the password was reset for me by a mod

    A "killall FAH502-Linux.exe" will do the trick.

    You should begin by checking the software that comes with your distribution, chances are high F@H is already included, so you can nicely install it. Then you have to run the configure script to set your options, pick a username, punch in your team number, etc. Finally, you execute the bad boy and leave it running.

    Well, i have added more machines and I am passing everyone!

    I must have 15 CPU's crunching away now.

    I have surpased Hayldric for good now i think, and Cerf, who started this thread is now falling behind too!

    What do I win?
