Re: [newbie] Starting folding at home automatically... Charlie

[Marv Boyes]

Just a quick aside, somewhat on-topic: I'm glad to see others using the 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] software, even if it is sloppy. ;) My mother-in-law died of 
Huntington's disease in February, and my wife is still deliberating over 
whether or not to be tested for the gene. The protein-folding research 
represented by [EMAIL PROTECTED] is about the best shot we have at 
understanding Huntington's, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and related 
disorders. And I was tempted to turn this into a political rant about 
better-informed and more mature governmental attitudes toward stem cell 
research here in the USA, but I suppose it would be in bad taste for 
this list. ;)

I just wish that [EMAIL PROTECTED] enjoyed the kind of worldwide popularity 
that [EMAIL PROTECTED] presently does.

Anyway, as someone whose family may just benefit from protein-folding 
research, thanks for your interst.

I have kde set to save the session when booting up and had the
folding client running in a terminal on an unused desktop but on
rebooting it didn't start.
Obviously there's something else I need to do.
What is it I'm missing?

Sloppy software the uni is offering for people trying to help. If started by 
the method mentioned in my previous post the program runs, but not in the 
directory it lives in. It starts all over again and clutters the home 
directory. Maybe because I didn't register a user name and have been doing 
the units anonymously.

Use the script I think. I don't like surprises. Could you tell? <g>
