I have the Terminal client on my iMac. I'm trying to delete it from my hard drive, as I don't run it anymore, and it keeps coming up as "in use." I've checked Terminal, and don't see it showing up there.
Any thoughts?

Trying to delete F@H

When you say "checked" are you running the 'top' command and looking for FAHcore or OSX-3.24 or something?
You can kill a process by typing 'kill' and then the process number you see to the left of it in top.
For example:
kill 242
After that, you should be able to trash it.
But that begs the question, why?

I haven't run it in a long while, or so I didn't think. I checked the files in the F@H folder, and they're updated thru today actually. I wanted to start over with it, and reinstall.
Cool, just checking.
If you did mc68k's script install, you might be able to just type 'rid' and have F@H clean itself out.

Yeah, the script adds that command to your aliases and will remove F@H for you. You might need to type 'stop' first, to quit the process.

Welcome to Darwin!
[eyelikeart:~] frank% stop
stop: Too few arguments.
[eyelikeart:~] frank% rid
rid: Command not found.
[eyelikeart:~] frank%
So now what? Could I just reinstall & have it replace whatever is there?

oh well
They probably changed it out of popular demand. bash is king outside of the OS X world. Have to keep all those Linux converts happy.
Just as a heads up, as I mentioned in another thread, stop is also a csh and tcsh built-in for job control.
So, is there any way to actually remove everything with a command, or does it have to be removed manually (if I installed it from the script.)
I can delete the FAH folder in my home directory but what about the crontab that starts it up at startup?

I'm not the original poster, but I found this thread helpful until it came to its current end....
I installed your script about a week ago. Since then the dnetc process has shown in the activity monitor. I have not gained any results yet. I am familiar with pretty well the entire UI of OS X, but no next to nothing of unix/terminal.
I would like either:
to know how to tell how far along a work unit is (monitor its progress)
make sure specs such as name, team number, etc. are correct
or: to completely remove all traces of the console version and the script version, and to install nFoldMan, as I am much more confortable with graphical interfaces.

dnetc is the distributed.net client for RC5-72-- not folding@home. u must have DLed the wrong thing from my sitejimjiminyjim said:
i don't have an "easy" way to deinstall this, so u'll have to do it manually. but it is only a couple commands in the Terminal:
Code:
rm -r ~/Documents/.dnetc
crontab -rjust download the right setup this time
errr... now I'm looking and when I type "work" it comes back with F@H2 "no such file or directory" (Process 1 is working fine though).
Is that just carry over from the DP script, and I can just ignore it, or could I get more WU out of the script if I did anything about this?

I have the same with my G3 B&W after installing the single processor script from you mc68k. Installed it again (after getting rid of it) but the same story. I think it is something in X.3. In X.2 this was't happening!
