Can you start two instances on Linux with dual core cpu

Download the client here

mkdir sob
cd sob
tar -xvfz sb250-Linux.tar.tz
edit the sbclient.conf file and make sure the following is used

ServerAddress sb.pns.net
ServerPort 1717

Username crankytech

Team 60 (assuming you want Free-DC)
LogFile sclient.log
LogToConsole 1
MaxLogSize 100
PriorityLevel 5
# 1 - Enable
# 0 - Disable
Transmit 1
MaxReportRetries 0
MaxRetries 0
RetryWait 1200

Save sclient.conf, then type the following
./sb
It should take right off.

I'll be adding a news system on the weekend wich will be the 5200+ dual core but I was just wondering if you can have two instances running like you do in windows. Anyone know ?

It should automatically detect both processors and take right off. :thumbs:

I actually run 3 on my dual core - one to pick up the slack when one is talking to the server.

If you aren't using gnome, I am sure there are similar commands you can use

I have this in a file sb.sh on my desktop - don't forget to mark it executable after creating it

gnome-terminal --working-directory=/home/ian/sb --command="./sb sclient.conf" --title=sb

then this in sb2.sh on my desktop
gnome-terminal --working-directory=/home/ian/sb2 --command="./sb sclient.conf" --title=sb2

I leave it as an exercise for the reader to work out what is sb3.sh.

Double click each one after system restart and logging in.

but I still have to start one instance in directory SOB and create directory SOB2 and start it there also right ?

[tqft]

One directory for each instance - you need to edit each sclient.conf in each directory unless you do the setup once and copy the files including the sclient.conf to the new dir(s).

wow thanks alot this is great. I'll try that out this weekend.

[NicColt]

I got it going but I don't see the client like I do in windows I just see the logfile ?

[tqft]

I miss it the little windows with ticking numbers too (honestly I do - love watching numbers tick by on occassion - me like roullette?) but logfile in window is all you get by default - I believe there is an app somewhere that sniffs the logfile and makes a pretty window of it - but I have never got that fussed about it.

thanks tqft I didn't know :)
