Starting client in Linux

[PY 222]

Question, to the Project Admins.

Will it harm the project in anyway if I were to start the client as

./client

instead of

./client >& outfile & or even ./client >& /dev/null &

Also, can I start the same client 4 times if I have a dual Xeon with HT instead of having the client in different directories?

no harm doing that except all output goes to screen :)

4 clients on a dual ht xeon works :p

Thanks Bok. Maybe I can create a different screen for each client. Or then again, maybe I'll just /dev/null the output.

What I meant was the same client being executed 4 times. Will it affect the client in any way?

Example:

./client >& output1 &
./client >& output2 &
./client >& output3 &
./client >& output4 &

All on the same client, in the same directory.

should be fine. I'm pretty sure I've done it like that before.

Or you could symlink it 4 times..

yup, screen, is your friend :)
