...waiting for the updated 4.0 script to get the dual G5 back on......
Selector... you might try this install script
https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56656 I found on the folding community board.
If you want to do the setup manually, here's what worked for me:
1. go to stanford and download the command line client, follow their directions (copy fah4 to desktop, run it and configure it,
BUT set the machine id to 2!!!)
1a. trash the disk image that held the download... you'll be getting a second copy and don't want to be confused!
2. go to your Library, and move fah4 from the desktop to the folder Folding@home.
3. rename that folder to something like, Folding@home1
4. go back to stanford and
download another copy of fah4, again follow the install directions, run fah4, and configure it but this time leave the machine id at it's default value of 1
This will create a new Folding@home folder in your Library folder so you'll have the Folding@home1 folder that you made earlier plus this brand new folder as well.
5. move the desktop copy of fah4 to Folding@home. Not Folding@home1, as there is already an fah4 in there!
6. trash the download disk image
To get them going, you have to use terminal because you MUST invoke them with the -local flag, otherwise they get very confused. -local forces each instance to work using information in the folder in which the application resides... without that switch, the app will wander all over the place for operational data and get screwed up and not work.
So, from terminal:
1. cd /Users/yourUserName/Library/Folding@home
step 1 is mandatory, or fah will get confused
2. ./fah4 -local -forceasm > /dev/null &
(the 'dot' is important, don't forget it!) This actually launches the folding application, sends its output to a null device, and the ampersand "backgrounds" the application so it won't quit when you shut down the terminal window. You should see a number pop onto the terminal screen, this is the process id. If you launch process viewer (applications/utilities), you should see two apps, fah4 and one of 3 cores (fahCore_ca, fahCore_65, fahCore_78) maxing out the cpu.
To get the second proc busy,
1. cd /Users/yourUserName/Library/Folding@home
1
2. ./fah4 -local -forceasm > /dev/null &
now, process viewer should show two fah4s and two cores running.
You can close terminal now if you wish, or just hide it to the dock.
To make both processes go away in one swell foop, type the following into terminal:
killall fah4
This forces all instances of fah4 to stop (you don't lose any work). To restart them, you have to go through the terminal stuff. I'm sure mc68k's scripts will setup the start, stop, work and other shortcuts, but this should get you by in the meantime.
