I am trying to get the F@h CLI Client to run in the Terminal. I have success getting things initiated and running, but when it comes to entering my user name I have difficulties. I enter my user name, hit return, I am greeted with 'command not found' and the Client stops. If I restart again I am greeted with 'Anonymous' user of Team 0 and a WU is downloaded. Any help would be appreciated. TIA.

Try typing the commands you usually type to open it but type "./FAH3Console-OSX -config" instead of just "./FAHConsole3-OSX"

It is possible to edit the config file (~/Library/Folding@home/client.cfg) in a text editor.

When I try to run from the command line here is what I get.

[Anthony-Kencks-Computer:~/FAH] kenckar% ./OSX-3.24 -local -config &

Arguments: -local -config

[15:26:31] - Ask before connecting: No
[15:26:31] - User name: Anonymous (Team 0)

[15:26:31]
[15:26:31] Configuring Folding@home...

User name [Anonymous]? kenckar@bigfoot.com
kenckar@bigfoot.com: Command not found.
[1] + Suspended (tty output) ./OSX-3.24 -local -config

So it's not accepting my username. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tony

Try it wothout the @bigfoot.com. Usernames aren't all that important with folding@home.

sad

Thanks, but it didn't work. Here's what happened.
./OSX-3.24 -local -config &
[2] 450
[1] Exit 1 .OSX-3.24 -local -config
[Anthony-Kencks-Computer:~/FAH] kenckar% Using local directory for configuration

Arguments: -local -config

[16:43:30] Configuring Folding@home...

User name [Anonymous]? kenckar
kenckar: Command not found.

What do you think?

Do not put the & at the end of the line when doing the -config to set up FAH for the first time. Only use it later after you have the config set up.

The & tells OSX to start the FAH client and then return you to the command line in the Terminal window.

Code:

./OSX-3.24 -local -config & 
[2] 450 
[1] Exit 1 .OSX-3.24 -local -config 
[Anthony-Kencks-Computer:~/FAH] kenckar% Using local directory for configuration

That last line above (line 4 in your code snippet) shows that you are now back at the command line prompt. The client is still outputting in the same window however, and this is normal. Even though the last line you have: User name [Anonymous]? kenckar shows the client asking for your userid, you are not in the same process as the client at that time, but sitting at the command line (from line 4 above in your code).

Since there is no executable file in the current working directory called kenckar, OSX responds with kenckar: Command not found. which is correct.
