SMP config

Pilgrim57 · 14 Feb 2007 at 11:18

I have configged to ask permission before connecting which works but unlike the Win console which also asks before getting a new unit, Smp connects when you press C sends results & automatically gets new unit. Short of closing terminal or blocking the connection what are the alternatives?
Is this what happens to everyone else?
Cheers.
[PS I have Seti units & a climate change one to finish in BOINC & SMP use 70-80% resources of my x2 & greatly slows everything down]

I've not tried but the same flags you can use with the normal console should work - http://folding.stanford.edu/console-userguide.html

-oneunit
Instruct the client to quit following the completion of one work unit.

so if you start the client with

./fah5 -oneunit

that should do the trick

Alternatively if it won't work then just quit after you've got the new WU and it'll time out in a couple of days and soemoen else will be issued it anyway - not ideal but if they've not built any mechanism in it's not your fault

I've used the -oneunit flag on the SMP client a couple of times, so I can confirm it does work.

Yeah, the client is still in open beta, so it's not quite fully functional just yet. If you have other stuff to do, then I would suggest you run it with the -oneunit flag, so that it doesn't collect another WU once it's done. When you've cleared up all your loose threads, you can then get it going again.

Thanks for the wise words, guys.
As I still can't get FahMon to run either in Ubuntu or with Wine I took a look at the project stats: only seems to be about 5 projects for SMP at present.
Good ppd though
