Create a rc-script to automatically launch df at bootup and automatically delete the lock file during the shutdown sequence. How you do this depends on your distro, heres how I did it in gentoo...

The athlon 700/windows2k is now on generation 54 whilst the P42.4G/linux is on 47 generation ... I really hope it's doing real work ...

Ah ha! I stopped and started the service a couple of times and it still got stuck but it seem to have corrected itself after a reboot.

But one thing that is odd and I hope it's not related is...

I think it's the same problem as this http://www.free-dc.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3264 My windows clients were downloaded fresh rather than updated.

Basically when you let the client run the progress file always shows
Building structure 1 generation 85
49 until next generation

hmmm I seem to be getting this on my windows machines as well. The linux client is fine though.

The way you'll stop the client cleanly is to delete the lock file. If the machine is shutting down you have to make sure it doesn't shutdown before the results have been uploaded (although this...

- The first thing I notice is that it's generating some huge asciiness for structures after generation 0. I normally run my...

Oh yes mate! Thats solved it ... works very nicely, cheers bwkaz ... that was the missing line I needed :) For anyone else who's having the same problems heres the script i'm using:

I thought about that, and I'll give it a go :) The problem that I can see is that sometimes it takes a while to to upload, could be having problems connecting to the server, and if it's not uploaded...

Thanks for the reply Darkness, upon shutdown the lock file does get deleted but unfortunately the client is getting killed :( I'm getting this in the error.log

ERROR: [001.001] {foldtrajlite.c,...

However I find that if I delete the .lock file the client will stop after the next structure is completed ... but then uploads the data. I've put in a script to run the client and stop the client...

Not to worry got it sorted :) ... delete the lock file :p

Ok I've managed to get this running perfectly on my Gentoo Linux machine, but how should I get it to startup and shutdown cleanly? I can write a script or run a crontab to start it but how would I...
