Stopping program after work unit complete

Post by jason403 »

I'm folding on a computer that needs to be taken offline for intermediate periods. I read something before about entering a flag or something along those lines to stop after the work unit is complete, and not to request a new work unit. Is there such a thing available? I'd rather not have to download an additional work unit, and slow a project down by it timing out.

If you are using the V7 Client, you can use the Finish button. Depending on the version you have to:
1) Use Advanced Control (AKA FAHControl) and click on the Finish Button
2) Use Advanced Control (AKA FAHControl), select the Slot, right-click it and then select Finish from the right-click menu.

If you are using v6, the flag is -oneunit which you to configure your client with. You can read this (http://fahwiki.net/index.php/How_do_I_a ... _client%3F) and this (http://fahwiki.net/index.php/How_do_I_a ... _client%3F) to get an idea of how to do it.
