Ok. I have been working on creating a set of scripts that will start folding at home. After trying the FInstall (Folding Install) i found it wouldn't work. So I came up with my own. Now im stuck. I start the FAH client (FAH502-Linux.exe) with the "&" arguement to make it a background and watch it start up. Then after it gets going i close the terminal. The only problem is that it doesnt stay running.
I found a solution that i thought would work so i created a script that with called simply executes the client. (Code below)
| Code Sample |
#!/bin/bash
./FAH502-Linux.exe >> Folding.log 2>&1 &
|
Now when i go into the directory and execute the script the Client starts up and begins running and if i close the window the program keeps going. SUCCESS! or so I thought.
Now come the odd part. When i call the script from the DSL menu the program starts then when i close the window the program quits. What Gives??
Can anyone shed some light?
Here is the setup:
DSL menu ==> script A
command in script A ==> script B
command in script B ==> FAH client
Above is Script B here is Script A
| Code Sample |
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/foldathome //go into the folder of the folding client for proper placement and using of config
./FAH & // call the script to execute the client and put it in the background
read //Causes the window to pause so that one can watch the CPU level to see when core is running.
|
Upon hitting enter at the read command the CPU drops from 100% back to a 2%.
Any help for a script kiddie?
