Charlie Charlie; I've got the following line in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local, which restarts [EMAIL PROTECTED] automatically on boot up: su - glenn --command=cd /home/glenn/[EMAIL PROTECTED];./FAH4Console-Linux.exe /dev/null 21 As you've mentioned, you can't see the progress this way. But you can always check your FAHlog.txt file to check, or use the Gkrellfah2 plugin for Gkrellm. The latter lets you get a quick update on your progress by simply mousing over that area in the gkrellm box.

Re: [newbie] Starting folding at home automatically... Charlie
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. On Friday 06 August 2004 10:31:10, C. Tresenriter wrote: I must have misunderstood you.

Obviously there's something else I need to do. What is it I'm missing? Curt OK after a bit of experimentation I've discovered that you can have the program running by making a link to the executable in ~/.kde/Autostart but it will run in the background and you won't see the progress. If, like me, you don't allow applications to sing out to the world until you want a connection, that may not be a good thing. Besides I had a habit of glancing at the Konsole it was running in to see how I was doing and I don't know if I trust the software enough to run it invisible. yet. I'm talking specifically of the protein folding from http://folding.stanford.edu so I don't know about any others. I'll find out when it finishes the work unit that it's doing.
