Doesn't stop folding after current work unit on MacOS X

Post by MarkusWinter »

On Macs there is only the web interface to control fah - but "Stop after current unit is finished" STILL doesn't work after how long now?

It seems nobody cares as there is a separate control for Windows that works, so …

I'm finally having enough and am out until the problem has been fixed (seriously, it is embarrassing).

Maybe someone can move my work unit 13851 (0, 38381, 148) of Project 14825 to someone else.

Mac's also have the same Advanced Control as the Linux and Windows clients have. Go to your Applications folder and open the Folding@home folder. Use FAHControl to set a WU to Finish.

Oh, and the WU will only move after the Timeout has been reached.

Welcome to the F@H Forum MarkusWinter,

Apologies for the inconvenience caused by the Web Control. Please note that it is a known bug and development team is aware of it. However, the development focus is currently on developing FahCore_22 and other components which will allow the scientists to perform time critical simulations ASAP to help out in the COVID Moonshoot project (https://foldingathome.org/2020/05/28/th ... -moonshot/). However, as Joe_H mentioned, using Advanced Control (AKA FAHControl) as a workaround is feasible. Thus, the fix isn't deemed critical as a workaround exists.
