Folding Forum

we need way of abort units, after my pc crash i had to reboot and unit is stuck, cannot fold it cannot abort it, this software needs to be rewrite, it sux

Expert CLI command (WARNING: this will dump ALL active work units and report them as dumped to the collection servers - all progress will be permanently lost):
This is for Linux. I am not sure what the equivalent would be for Windows.

1 - i use windows
2 - i want to dump one work unit only
3 - this should be in the gui

Perhaps you can post the relevant parts of the log?

2: You can try deleting the slot that is running the WU, watch the client dump it, and re-creating the slot afterwards.

3: No it shouldn't, because otherwise people would be habitually dumping WUs if they don't like the PPD projection, to get more cryptobucks from the schemes that reward folders. Instead, the client should ideally by itself notice that the WU has failed and auto-dump it without user intervention.

2. i can do that and have done it befor, but i shouldnt have to
3. but you can pick covid for exampl in your prefs to do the same thing

Log (not sure if thisshows it not sure how to see which bits of log refer to which slots - pc locked up had to power off - other slot kept running):

Can you post the lines that follow ?

This is a corrupted checkpoint, but the client usually dump the WU automatically after such errors.

So it keeps repeating ?

In Webcontrol or FAHControl, Pause folding slot.

Go to C:\ProgramData\FAHClient\work and delete 00 folder. It will get rid of this corrupted work files.

Resume folding slot.

yes doesnt seem to cancel itself, ah your suggestions worked thankyou !
