What I really need to know, most of all-first of all, are commands (with example usage) and syntax.

You want what??

In all seriousness, I'm probably only slightly ahead of you on the Linux knowledge curve.

For lists of commands (i.e. how do I find something out with what command, or how do I do a specific task) I start with my Linux-god brother, or I query Google.

Once I know a command, but I'm having trouble with the syntax, I just use "man " to bring up the manual pages for it. ("Q" to exit from the manual is an important bit of knowledge)

Now you know the foundation of what I know! Best of luck on your journey-- I'm fully prepared to see you jogging up to me along the path!

You got me thinking, though...

I did a Google search just now on "linux command summary", and found, among other potentially useful links, this: http://www.cs.bilkent.edu.tr/~saksoy/courses/cs201/src/linux-commands.pdf

I finished folding my second p2124 late yesterday and as of this morning it has yet to give me my 67th wu or the 396 points. Anyone know why? Thanks.

Check your FAHlog.txt file to see if the results were successfully sent back.

Usually results appear within a couple of hours of being checked in. There are occasions, though, that F@H has glitches, and points take awhile to become visible.

Yep. Looks like a glitch at F@H. I'm betting you'll see the points at some point.

I hope so. That's a lot of points. :-)

Thanks again.

Ok, I definitely have a problem. It appears the problem is my second processor. It is folding, completing, sending in the wu but not giving me the wu or the points.

It shows 67 wu's, I should have 69. I've yet to get my second p2124 and now my second p1809, both are on the same processor. They total over 500 points. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

My computer is having trouble sending results in.

I currently have three waiting and one working.

The message is 'Couldn't send HTTP request to server (wininet) + Could not connect to Work Server (results) (171.65.103.162:8080) Error: Could not transmit unit 01 (completed November 25) to work server.'

The queue looks like this:

CURRENT QUEUE: 00 EMPTY 01 DONE "Folding@Home" (78) 171.65.103.162:8080 November 19 17:16->November 25 19:26:30 02 EMPTY 03 DONE "Folding@Home" (78) 171.64.122.142:8080 November 27 13:04->December 2 10:30:42 04 DONE "Folding@Home" (78) 171.64.122.142:8080 December 2 10:31->December 7 11:05:16 05 *READY "Folding@Home" (78) 171.65.103.162:8080 December 7 11:06 | February 27 11:06 06 EMPTY

Is it a problem that position 00 is empty and position 02 is empty? I would have thought not but it is new to me. Any help would be appreciated.

Not to jump in on TB here, but try rebooting. Sometimes that will loosen it up. I don't know how ofter you shut down, and/or reboot, but I have found rebooting every week or so helps keep F@H running smoothly and a tiny bit faster. Some times, just stopping and restarting the console will do the trick, but a reboot once and a while is good for your 'puter ( if your running 24/7, like several of us do).

Also, you can add this flag to your command line (from the FAH site):

-send x : Send result #x back to server. Exits after trying to send unit (successfully or unsuccessfully). Use "-send all" to send all results outstanding. If unit x is not a completed work unit then the client exits without doing anything.

The first advice is always to reboot.

The second question is server status. Look the servers up here:

http://fah-web.stanford.edu/serverstat.html

It looks like the server that you connect for that WU was down, but is now up and running.

Also if you look at the Extreme Overclocking stats, you will see several 3 hour segments where none or few points were posted. It happens that their servers go down, get bogged down or have network connection issues.

Can you explain this?

Donator Rank 78693 of 593298
WU 68 (certificate)
Date of last work unit
2006-12-09 12:18:54
Active processors (within 50 days) 2
Active processors (within 7 days) 1

It shows my 2nd processor accepting, folding and sending back the wu. But, that doesn't jive with it now showing only 1 processor. That's 3wu's we're not getting credit for.

The active processors within 7 days is just that - processors that have finished a WU within the last 7 days. It may be the same processor, it may be the other one.

I have 30 computers that are folding with my name. (It was 34 at the high). 20 of the computers have reported back in the last week. The other 10 simply haven't reported, in over a week.

Please FReepmail Egon for links to his WU processing software. Its a simple VBS script that works very well if you use a login password. It will show you a list of each processor and follow the action as it finishes a WU.

From 30 to 19 processors, dang. And I'm worried about one.

I had 20 active (within a week) processors when I posted. One of them must have just dropped off.

Processors come and go, especially with large WUs and slow systems. Most of my systems are running between 50% and 75%. Slower, but with less heat and more responsiveness.

I have insurance. If one blows it's lid....

I just checked my task manager. I shows both processors humming along.

Will F@H eventually give us the missing wu's or will they wander off into the nether world never to be heard from again. :-)

I didn't mean physically burned up, but that can happen.

You will get credit for WUs turned in, even if the WU has an abend. There is a discussion on teh Pande site about folks trying out the new ATI X1900 cards and getting 1/2 to 1 point each because of early ends.
