Folding Forum

I tested a previous version of v8 and quickly learned that it didn't support command line Pause, Resume, and Finish operations. I rely on the ability to pause folding via a script ahead of computer backup processes and to resume afterward.

Does version 8.3.x support this type of scripting?

Thanks for this tip! Worked perfectly and I no longer have to rely on reloading the web client to make the local client work. This is on an M1 iMac running 12.2.1. The following Terminal commands work for me on an M1 Mac mini, macOS 11.6. Appreciate, too, the tip to reduce to Light, focusing on the ...

I had no problem running FAHControl on my Intel Mac running Big Sur 11.6.2. However, I just migrated to a new M1 Mac running Monterey 12.1. Why my built-in firewall is enabled, I find that FAHControl only shows my folding progress and controls when FAH Web Control is loaded in a web browser. When th...

I wasn’t aware that there was a FAHClient script in the crontab directory. Can you say more about that?

I did fully uninstall 7.5.1 before reinstalling it. Only via a proper installation was I able to trigger it to run on startup.

Well, that didn't work. Oh well. I await someone who's used Mojave to hopefully show up and share some thoughts about how to automate FAHClient on a chosen schedule. Thanks!

Thanks for your insights so far. However, I didn't have a problem with my crontab-triggered scripts working in Mojave before I updated FAH to 7.5.1. I think I was running 7.4.4 before and while FAHControl was a little finicky, the client worked fine. I suppose I can try downgrading and see if I can ...

I was having some trouble with the FAH client on macOS Mojave and was grateful to discover 7.5.1. However, I have been using crontab entries to play, pause, and finish folding at specific times, and these scripts have not been working reliably since installing 7.5.1. They were working fine on the ol...

Setting to Full was the simple solution. Is the preferred method now to reduce CPU time instead of folding power?

The first time I tried opening the client in my browser, it crashed my browser. My main browser is OmniWeb, which is more fully featured but has its share of incompatibilities. It hasn't crashed since, but I've been opening the client in a different browser, too. Also, the browser interface isn't mu...

I don't think so, but why would that matter? I was using 7.2.9 on 10.8.2 on my MacBook Pro just yesterday, and a few days ago when my last work unit was downloaded.

The one that works is currently located in northwest Connecticut. It's a Mac Pro running OS X 10.7.5. The that doesn't is a MacBook Pro in Berkeley running OS X 10.8.2. What other details would help you troubleshoot? What would prevent an AS from telling my client from which WS to request a unit?

Here's the section of interest. I also tried restoring a previous config file that identified my system type as SMP, which the client changed to CPU after I upgraded to 7.3.6. *********************** Log Started 2013-02-19T18:11:24Z *********************** 18:11:24:************************* Folding@...

Nope, besides upgrading from 7.2.9 to 7.3.6, nothing else changed. I went back through the full log history for the last couple days. At 5:03 am this morning, my last unit reached 98% and the client tried to initiate a download of a new unit to begin upon completion. At 6:18 am, the unit was complet...

Folding@home 7.3.6 did a fine job completing the work unit that was in progress on my Mac running Mountain Lion after I installed it yesterday. However, it has been unable to get a new assignment from the assignment server. The log is reporting: 18:47:27:WU00:FS00:Connecting to assign3.stanford.edu:...

I would like an easy way to intentionally install a console version of FAH v.7 without negotiating the command line on my Mac. I would also like to be able to monitor the client running locally as well as clients running elsewhere on the Internet to whose shared volumes are connected to my Mac. InCr...
