I'll PM this to you as well in case you don't see the thread, but one of the problems with folding on linux is getting it set up like a service as with the windows client.
Here's how.
bash Code:
Original
- bash Code
#Become root
su -
#make the directory `/opt/fah`
mkdir /opt/fah
#Move the client into the new folder
#sidenote: why give it a .exe ending?
mv ./FAH*-Linux.exe /opt/fah
#make a new user for it to run under
useradd fah
#You want it to start up when the system does
#Linux is case sensitive so it's safe to do it this way with the wildcard, oh and it makes life easier now and later on

I dont get this, where do I find my user id#? My username is Immortal1490, and I have a WU completed on their site, but how do I find the 6 digit number that UserCP asks for?
edit: nevermind i figured it out from the URL

For those that don't notice it straight away once you have typed your name in the box on teh left hand side here you will be given a list of names that match the one you entered (ideally only yours will show but there may be one similar). Click on your name and it will take you to a page about your stats like mine and the number at the end of the url ... for example u=117882 is your folding number to enter into the relevent box in the userCP here on DS!!

I did a quick benchmark test, the gui is only slower if you leave it displaying the protien on the screen (which i don't) so you can leave that installed aswell if you are not comfortable with the comandline.
I can not guarentee the accuracy of these tests.

The GUI expends CPU cycles calculating the graphics, regardless of whether they are being shown or not.
@LP, thanks, working on incorporating that.

That's how it is for my fedora system. Other systems may have different methods of making a program start up on boot, so you may need to look into that

Most linux systems are similar I think. I just made a full init script for my system
Code:
. /etc/sysconfig/rc
. ${rc_functions}
PIDFILE=/home/kicken/.FAH/FAH.pid
case "${1}" in
start)
boot_mesg "Starting Folding@Home clinet ..."
if [ ! -f $PIDFILE ]; then
su - kicken -c \$HOME/bin/startfah
fi
evaluate_retval
;;
stop)
boot_mesg "Stopping Folding@Home client ..."
if [ -f $PIDFILE ]; then
kill `cat $PIDFILE`
rm $PIDFILE
fi
evaluate_retval
;;
restart)
${0} stop
sleep 1
${0} start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: ${0} {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
;;
esac
And the startfah script is simply:
Code:
cd $HOME/.FAH
./FAHClient >/dev/null 2>&1 &
echo $! > FAH.pid
That's for my server. For my desktop I made a similar startfah script, but I just call it from my login scripts so it starts when I login rather than when I boot up (which is more or less the same time)
The great thing about Object Oriented code is that it can make small, simple problems look like large, complex ones

The first is a freebie, only one WU completed required (or, I should say, having at least one point); each additional for every 10K points up to 100K, then one for every 500K points after that, IIRC.
