Did I lose my WU?

Post by aston » Mon Mar 01, 2004 12:09 pm

I have a slow-ass Celeron 466 folding under Linux. I've set it so that it asks me before it attempts to use my net connection. Unfortunately, it's also running in the background, so I have to check FAHlog.txt every so often to see if it's done. I thought I could just kill the process when it was done, re-run it in the foreground, and press 'c' to let it send the results. However, when I did this, I don't think it sent them. Did I lose my WU?

I've done this before (but on the Windows client) and the work wasn't lost. The old unit will just get sent when the current one finishes. If you'd prefer to send it straight away, try the command line option "-send all".

Core_ca is the Genome@Home core. This isn't necessarily a problem - GAH work counts towards your FAH score, but if you prefer to work only on FAH projects, run the client with the -config or -configonly flag and set your preference to FAH. Since it's Linux, you could even edit the client.cfg file and change the [clienttype] line to say type=1, but this is "frowned upon", so doing it "the right way" is recommended. [Editing the client file under Windows is most DEFINITELY *NOT* recommended, since it's a "data file" rather than a simple text file as it is under Linux]

A bito' trivia: GAH work is reported in the Stanford stats under project 799.
