No "Finish" command for Linux fahclient?

Post by iceman1992 »

I'm trying to run fahclient using only the terminal.
Running /etc/init.d/FAHClient --help shows only "start", "stop", "restart", "reload", "status", "log".
No "finish"?
I followed the installation instructions from here https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/i ... -advanced/ (only installing fahclient)

I believe /etc/init.d/FAHClient is the daemon/ service and the options listed are only for the service.

This post has the full list of options for FAHClient, including --finish. I'm not familiar with Linux to provide more info on how to use this. Someone more knowledgeable will probably pitch in.

FAHControl has the easily accessed Finish command, but it does send it to the FAHClient process. As mentioned, you are looking at the options for the background FAHClient process used by init.d.

You can use the telnet access to FAHClient, telnet to IP 127.0.0.1 on port 36330, to issue commands to the client. Using its help will show that "finish" is also available there.

If you want to roll your own replacement for FAHControl, there is an API as well.
