Installing with Linux ??

[Moogie]

Ok, we've installed FAD on a machine that uses Linux. Ok, my husband did this as it is his box and I've borged it.

He followed the instructions on the site (and in readme) but can't tell if it's working as it should.

How do I tell, in Linux, if everything is working properly? Sorry for the questions here...I'm a noob and Linux (still).

TIA!

i think ./top tells you what is using cpu, like task manager

Thanks I'll check that.

Anything else?

should be a system monitor somewhere in the menu.

just run "top" or "ps aux | grep fad" and see if you see it at all.

I have a server.log, and a loader.log which show me that THINK has started. There are also log files such as 5-1CZQ-Q2.log which shows me that something is running but I can't decipher them because they are not readable by a text editor.

I know it's running. It shows up in the task list. But I can't tell if it's giving good information or not.

Typing in a terminal window cd fad will get you to the fad directory. then you can type ./ server -list to tell you what is running,and what is queued.
typing ./fadsetup -list will tell you what is setup like in control panel in windows.
typing top in a terminal window will tell you what is running like what task manager does in windows. Typing q will stop it.
Typing ./fadsetup -help will get you to the help window
