mc68k's script...Pause, Stop, etc... commands not working?

[MBHockey]

Hey, i'm new to folding, but in the included Readme, it says you can use these commands once the client is installed:

work - dumps frames, proteins and modification times for each processor to the screen
start - starts up both clients and sends them to the background
stop - stops folding on all processors
pause - pauses folding on all processors
resume - resumes paused folding on all processors
rid - stops folding on all processors and un-installs files that this script makes

Whenever i enter these in Terminal...it just says command not found. I'm probably doing something wrong, but can someone tell me how to actually use these commands?

Thanks

just type "work" in the terminal and it should work.....unless you have done a upgrade from 10.2 to 10.3 then you might have problems.

 

[MBHockey]

It's a clean install of 10.4

It still says command not found.

 

[trainguy77]

My only thought is maybe you are not admin? Other then that i have no idea we will have to wait and see what mc68k says.

It sounds as if the install process isn't detecting your default shell and putting the aliases into the correct config file.

I haven't looked at his installation script, but if you don't hear from him within a few days, let me know and I'll download one of the packages to see what I can do.

don't know if this issue has been solved already but...

what happens when you type in 'alias' into a terminal window?

and what shell are you running? you can tell this by typing in 'echo $SHELL'

you could always type in 'cd; ./.rid' if you haven't started on any work and just do a reinstall.

if theres some other reason that it's not working, then we'll try to find a solution

 

[MBHockey]

I'm running a bash shell. I'll reinstall and see if it works.

 

[MBHockey]

Yeah i just reinstalled it, same thing for all the commands:

-bash: work: command not found

Typing alias just seems to do nothing (i'm not sure what it does)

Top shows that i'm currently folding

 

[MBHockey]

Anyone have any suggestions? I hate to have to move the folder out of my home directory and reboot when i need all my CPU for iMovie and iDVD

Try typing the following lines:

tcsh
work
exit

and let us know the output

 

[trainguy77]

Also this should work

work = ~/.work
pause =  killall -STOP -m "FahCore*"
resume  killall -CONT -m "FahCore*"
start  =   cd ~/F@H1; ./fah5 -local -advmethods > /dev/null &
stop =   killall fah5

If these work(just try work) then we can just enter them manually so you don't have to put in ~/.work to get your work.

 

[MBHockey]

Try typing the following lines:

tcsh
work
exit

and let us know the output

Mike:~ Mike$ tcsh
[Mike:~] Mike% work
tcsh: work: Command not found.
[Mike:~] Mike% exit
exit
Mike:~ Mike$

work = ~/.work
pause =  killall -STOP -m "FahCore*"
resume  killall -CONT -m "FahCore*"

stop =   killall fah5

Yeah those seem to work...thanks, i'll just use them

Mike:~ Mike$ tcsh
[Mike:~] Mike% work
tcsh: work: Command not found.
[Mike:~] Mike% exit
exit
Mike:~ Mike$

That's just odd and unfortunate that the aliases weren't installed anywhere.

 

[MBHockey]

Can i manually install the aliases to cut down on the amount of typing i'd have to do in Terminal?

I was thinking about how to do this and why the aliases didn't take in the first place.

I created a shell script file of the aliases and you could start it by typing ./FoldingAliases.sh but even more, you should be able to combine it with your shell profile. I'll do something about making it easier.

 

[MBHockey]

Great...thank you so much. I will try this out when i get home.

Oh, once you place it in the folder, type the following chmod +x FoldingAliases.sh
