Folding Forum

If the tarball has binaries with the execute bit deliberately unset, then they would not be double clickable. Direct download of a binary file also usually results in no execute bit. Distributing the client and wrapper non-executable sounds like a good idea. Edit: Finder/Launch Services will try to ...

You can double click launch anything with an execute bit on osx. If its a shell script or command line tool, it gets run from a Terminal window. The full path to the exe is used, and the cwd is set to the user home. You can also launch things with special extensions, like ".command",

If it's on a separate download page, that would be fine.
I just don't want to see it casually downloaded by mistake.
As has happened in the past.

We know from experience that some people will download the console client and simply double click the exe. Universal defaults are not required, as the client knows what platform it's running on and can choose an appropriate default. I think something other than the current working directory would be...

If stand alone client means no installer, just FAHClient, FAHCoreWrapper, and some doc files, I suppose so. But I would put these on a separate download page, without friendly terms like "no-nonsense", and with a warning making it clear that you must use the command line to use them. The c...

As long as you're being assigned work units, the v6 client is ok.
Remote monitoring of v6 is generally done via file sharing and third party tools.

I think V7 on linux uses
/var/lib/fahclient/log.txt
The log will look different than the fah6 FAHlog.txt.

You might want to check out net-fahclient as a command line monitoring tool to call from conky. Announcement thread is here.

Repeatedly crashes, core a4. Been going on for days without dumping, but this machine is running 7.1.44. I created a new slot so I could continue folding while I waited to see if the WU is ever dumped. Client probably won't dump it until expiration date of 2-26. 18:50:35:************************* Fo...

Hey guys I have a server running and now I would like to add it to the FahMon software. There is only the folding client running on the server (`no Apache or anything else). It is installed in the root home directory and I think I cant add it by "\\IP\root\folding\fah6\" What am I doing w...

InCrease 2.5.1 is universal, as are its helpers and qd.
I don't expect anything will need to be changed just for osx 10.7.

The solution is probably to use the appropriate "fast team pages", such as
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/teamstats/team1971.html

It would be great if the client advertises the port via Bonjour/Avahi/ZeroConf.
A restful http service might also be nice. Or even just a status page people could see from their web browser.
