Its short lived, though. If you check the team stats we had a 16k day the day before. Looks like there was a server fart and all the WUs that didn't get uploaded previously, swarmed in and gave us a good bump up.
Now if we can do it 2 days in a row I'll have to come up with another explanation 😀

that was 1.5 days worth of wu.
i'm doing over 1200 a day now, and it looks like that might stick - thanks to that last dual G5. 😀
i've been surrounded by 48 GHz of xeon power (12x2x2GHz) all week. been fighting all kinds of urges to add them to my queue. ten minutes is all i'd need 😛
but i just don't feel right using machines outside my general department. i could get away with using hundreds of GHz - for a while. that reminds me of the ethics question here the other day...my answer would be - i'd sell a machine as is, daemons be damned. wipe it if you want, luser. but i would.
back on message, these are pipeline training boxes. all i need is some inquisitive new kid asking what the proc heavy FAHCore processes are...i fear they wouldn't grok the idleness of it all. so i shan't get greedy.
would't it be cool to double the points, though.
hey; maybe i'll figger out how to launch at 6pm and kill at 9 am? my ethics might fit that under their frock. 😀
would these be the appropriate crontabs?
15 18 * * * cd ~/.fah/fah1; ./fah4 -local -advmethods -forceasm
15 18 * * * cd ~/.fah/fah2; ./fah4 -local -advmethods -forceasm
45 8 * * * killall fah4

No as stated by the site that was 24 hours worth of production. Just so happens we had a couple of large hours at 2 or 3 in the morning that drove our 24 hour total way up. If you took the normal day though from midnight to midnight it was lower but from 3-3 it was 30k+.
That's close, but with cron I've found that you have to be VERY explicit about the path. Replace the ~ with /Users/username. And be sure to redirect the output to /dev/null and background the process. I don't know where cron puts stdout if you don't send it to /dev/null. Also, to let machines run non-stop through weekends, replace the third * with 1-5 on each line.
so try this...
15 18 * * 1-5 cd /Users/username/.fah/fah1; ./fah4 -local -forceasm > /dev/null &
15 18 * * 1-5 cd /Users/username/.fah/fah2; ./fah4 -local -forceasm > /dev/null &
45 8 * * 1-5 killall fah4
I tested it by setting the launch time a minute ahead of the time of day then making sure the processes launched. Took some trial and error but it does work!
