Here's what I did:

Saved the F@H ID = -- censored -- found in /var/log/fah-client/log.txt
Built a config file using the Token found in my https://v8-4.foldingathome.org/account/settings like so:

Code: Select all

/etc/fah-client/config.xml
<config>
<account-token v='-- censored --'/>
</config>
Restarted fahclient.service

On https://v8-4.foldingathome.org/machines I see two machines
One called homeserver that's folding away
Another one called homeserver that's disconnected

If I try to un-link the one that's disconnected, it complains DB1643: Machine link not found

Hypothesis: If I sytemctl stop fah-client after it's through with its current work units and replace the account-token in the config file with the one I originally saved out of the log file when fah-client wasn't folding, I'll be able to disconnect it after starting. Then reverse the process. I expect it'll be folding and I'll have only one machine. It might be possible to delete /etc/fah-client/config.xml after that.
