Contribution could be a bit more "optional" !

[JezHB333]

Dear All,

Got a few systems in the house contributing at the moment as of a couple of days ago, which strangely enough has been quite entertaining.

However, I do have a couple of questions/gripes:

1) There doesn't appear to be a way of preventing the application from loading up on startup. I would really prefer to run the application when it is more convenient for me rather than having to manually disable it when I reboot. Is there a way of doing this?

2) Is it possible to ask the software to stop after it has completed a specific task/work unit until further notice? At the moment, it just seems to keep indefinitely assigning new ones, the result being (especially in the room with the i7 with 2x GTX Titans) the room can end up far to warm after a while!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Jeremy

Welcome,

Assuming you have the latest client 7.3.6 installed ?

Lucky there are two simple ways:

1) you can set for each slot an option "pause-on-start" to "true"; the application is still loaded but inactive and not consuming much in this mode. No folding at all. Right mouse click and "start" will continue folding.

Would looks similar to this sample in the config file; but suggest to use the FAHConfig application

Code: Select all

<slot id='0' type='CPU'>
    <cpus v='-1'/>
    <pause-on-start v='true'/>
  </slot>

2) for each slot with a right click you can define: "finish". This will not start a new WU after the current is done; but this don't survive a reboot. Good to have answer 1 in place, too

I still don't have the heater on, two 780 and one 660Ti folding; but if it get colder I might need a third 780

Dear ChristianVirtual

Thanks! It was mainly the second point I was most worried about as I don't want it to keep heating the room up during the night!

Thanks for your help

The auto start was an option to enable or disable during the initial install. It was not a forced option.

If you would rather the client not start at all after boot up, we can do that too. Just ask.

You can set pause-on-start as a client option, and it will affect all slots.
You'll need to use FAHControl to do this.
Configure > Expert > Extra client options > Add
Name: pause-on-start
Value: true
Ok > Save

FAHControl is also what you'd use to right click on a slot and select Finish.
