Why does the date appear in the console window sometimes?

Post by whocrazy »

Hi there.
I have FAH set to show the console window because I like to know what it's doing. and how fast a work unit is going.
sometimes, the date appears in the results.
Why does this happen? what does it mean?
Thanks.

For the log file FAHClient defaults to entering the date as a timestamp every few hours. This is probably from the same setting. It has been a while since I checked the default, but I think it is every 6 hours, and it makes it a bit easier to determine when a WU was processed in a longer log. Through extra client options it is possible to change the frequency and it may be possible to turn it off.

I don’t recommend changing log options, but you can see them all via command line:

Code: Select all

FAHClient —help
