Trying to delete F@H

[eyelikeart]

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?

[Rower_CPU]

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? ;)

[mc68k]

is it a normal install or a script install?

I used the script install from some months back.

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.

[Rower_CPU]

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.

[eyelikeart]

just type "rid" in terminal?

it'll know exactly what that means?

[Rower_CPU]

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.

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?

[mc68k]

yeah, reinstall and do the rid command

that will get rid of everything

thats prob the easiest way

[bousozoku]

This may be another case of bash being in charge, don't you think?

That's the second time I've seen stop used in something other than to stop folding.

***** why did Apple have to change the default shell to a scripting shell? :mad:

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.

[mc68k]

yeah i guess i should change that

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?

if u wanted to do it manually, it's just some kill, rm, and crontab -r commands

I try the rid command, and it says "tcsh: rid: command not found"

[mc68k]

something is not right. either:

it didnt install
it is installed but doesnt have an alias refernce

open a terminal and see if u have a .login filecat loginand if so...what does it say

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.

[jbeetz]

you might want to cd ~ first to make sure you're in your user directory. is that a typo or isn't it "cat .login"?

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:
rm -r ~/Documents/.dnetc
crontab -r

just download the right setup this time ;)

[jimjiminyjim]

Right... now folding.

Thanks!

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?

did u install the DP or SP script?

[Dreadnought]

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!

[jimjiminyjim]

It is definitely the Single Processor script.

Thats cool. I am currently working on wrapping your scripts into a Cocoa Application, and I have it all done, except I am having this problem, can you help (just reply on this forum so you don't have to sign up)

i took out the DP work code in the SP script

thanks for those who brought it to my attention :)

[jimjiminyjim]

No problem... if you're bored, here's some other code that I wonder about. This of course, is likely to be something *I* did, not your script... but perhaps you could suggest how to remedy the problem?

Thanks, Jim.

This is the code on restart:

Process 204 is currently running and may also be a client with Mach. ID 1.
Program will now exit. Upon restart, this check will not be done --
you may wish to check that no client is currently running in
/Users/jiminy/F@H1 before restarting.

I wonder if the DP code in the SP script setup a DP crontab... if you go to the terminal and type

crontab -l

what does it say?

[jimjiminyjim]

@reboot cd ~/F@H1; ./fah4 -local -advmethods &

Mc68k... if you're still reading this thread, here's another error:
