what does your init script say? /etc/rc.d/fah or something

good idea!
here's mine:

Well my folding is back in the high 300s so it must be reporting something. Still no unitinfo file though.

Just joined the justlinux folding team. I only have unlimited internet access left for a few days and after that I go back to one of those prohibitive usage metered accounts. Despite that, I would still like to help and I was wondering how heavy folding is on the internet usage. On the f@h site, they talked about electricity usage but did not discuss the usage in terms of MB uploads/downloads. Congratulations on the high team rating (146 when I last checked).Thanks.

Welcome aboard!
I think that the amount of bandwidth is trivial with F@H.
here are a few cores that I have laying around...they are typcially 2-3 MB, and you'll only download one every few days. I hope you have a machine (or several) that is capable of straining your bandwidth constraints :D

hehehehehe

watch out dkeav and andermic, I have just added 15 more CPU's to my list!!

I should have 15 more by the close of business tomorow!!!

MUAHAUAHAUAAHA

of course, you have permission for all those cpus right? you can't help the team from behind bars ;)

there are PC's in prisons!

Wow! Adding 15 processors at a time! Are you in charge of a lab somewhere?

Yeah, I mean where do you think he's getting all of these from? :)

MUAUAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Lets go boy's and girl's and penguins!!

I just added two CPUs that had previously been sitting in corners doing nothing. Unfortunately I seem to have lost the Xeon server that I had set up at my last job. These two probably more than make up for it (combined 3.2 Ghz).

I don't post much, but I just joined the f@h team and I have added 3 CPUs

1.7Ghz Celeron, 256MB RAM, Win XP
1.2Ghz Celeron, 256MB RAM, Slack 10.2
350Mhz Pentium II, 128MB RAM, FreeBSD 6.0

I noticed that two of them were doing a core with the same filename, is that normal?

Welcome aboard!
The more the merrier!

Yeah, that should be fine. They'll be working on different work units so they're not duplicating anything.

Great, I figured it was normal, just thought I'd make sure. I'll be setting up 2 or 3 systems at work hopefully tommorow. :cool:

Heh, I just got my Athlon XP 2500 back up and running with no hard drive (can you say "Knoppix is the coolest thing ever"?:)). Eventually it will have an actual hard drive, but I don't need it for another month and I've got a good uptime going on the computer the hard drive will need to come out of so I decided to leave it running Knoppix for the time being. I just hope it doesn't crash or I'm going to lose the current work unit... :eek:

Came across your forums today and decided to sign up. Was checking things out and saw this thread.... started folding as soon as I got home from work. Just have it on one machine at the moment but more to come soon.

Cool deal!
Welcome aboard! The more the merrier and all that jazz... :D

Ditto.

My Knoppix folder did die on me the other day, but it was because I somehow unplugged it while I was messing with my KVM. Hopefully I didn't lose too many steps of whatever work unit it was on. :(

I only have it running on my XP machine at the moment, but I have a few linux boxes that it will be on soon.

Woo hoo! Just topped 200 units completed! :) Folding on 4 machines now.

Congrats!

I finished 3 WU's in my first week.

I'm back (for a while I hope).

Yay me! I broke 100,000 points!

Congrats!:)

Must...
stay...
ahead...
of..
ions....

Holy Crap! According to http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...php?s=&t=36480 I have cranked out an average of 706 points in the last 24 hours! I don't get it. I haven't changed a setting or added a proc yet I've doubled my points somehow!

Oh well. No complaints here :D

Moved up from about 58 to 46 in the last few weeks.

43 janne_oksanen 14049 74
44 cs.wiu.edu 13500 217
45 MorphiusFaydal 13080 131
46 bs_texas 13023 69
47 mcgoll 12856 40
48 blackbelt_jones 12759 70

Hope they cure something soon! ;)

lol I'm still 40 and I havn't folded in such a long time, maybe 4 months and even then I only gained a few hundred points. If only you could render video while folding without the rendering being degraded...oh well

If you have the nice set correctly it should not affect anything else you do. I have mine set to 19 and it lets me do whatever without slowing me down.

:D :D :D

yeah, I've noticed that when I'm using both cpu's at 100% for my own modelling purposes, it will segfault once in awhile (maybe once every week or 2) while folding is running.

If you are not overclocking, then you may have something a miss somewhere. I run folding all the time and have never had it affect anything else. Something fishy somewhere.

:D :D :D :D

Hmm.. I just installed Suse 10.1 and of course, one of my first jobs is to set ip a folding service.

And it doesn't work anymore?
Strange. Anyone got any similar problems?

I used the instructions here http://www.hardfolding.com/index.php?go=3&id=9&show=1 and have double checked that all the symlinks are correct.

But trying

/etc/init.d/rc3.d/K98Folder stop

doesn't actually stop the job anymore.
And when I do a reboot, nothing starts up.
The only thing I have found is that if I'm logged in as root and type

$ su -m folder

Then I get an error

bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied

Could this be causing it? It doesn't even matter what directory I'm in when I issue the su -m command, even in /home/folder

Annoying.
Any help much appreciated.. I was creeping up the chart there too!!

I don't know why it isn't working for you, but I usually just start it using screen and that way it keeps running until my next reboot. For the /root/.bashrc error, check the /home/folder/.bashrc and .bash_profile and make sure that they aren't calling /root/.bashrc for some reason. You may also want to add a -l (lower-case L) to your su command. That will make sure that the environment gets set up properly for the user. Of course you may have fixed all of this by now since it's been two weeks.:)

And I finally got all of my boxes back up and folding, so I should move back up the list again here soon. :cool:

In my 'etc/rc.d/rc.local' file I have inserted this line:

cd /home/lowell/folding@home; ./FAH504-Linux.exe &

works for me. (I am assuming-any comments here would be appreciated) that whenever I boot out, the process is correctly shut down, and then starts up anew when I reboot. What I do know is that if the computer ever shuts off suddenly (insert 'thunder storm' here), upon reboot the FAH text indicates that it had suffered an improper shutdown.

Just sorta thrown this out as my 2c worth. Hope I've read your issues correctly. :rolleyes:

Just hit 100000 points!

:)

I just moved into the 20's for justlinux_regulars:

http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/...&teamnum=36480

I can see je_fro and ions up there on the horizon. ;)

According to extremeoverclocking, http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...hp?s=&u=135110 , I'm projected to hit 100,000 by October. Of course, this image changes over time. This is as of 17 Jul 06.
