• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

I have a Mac Pro at my fingertips that's been collecting dust for a couple years. It has dual Xeons, so I want to put it to work. I have the console client running and it's folding well. I am familiar with Linux but am having difficulty setting the folding client to run automatically. What I do in Linux is have a single line in rc.local that launches the folding client under a specified user account. It's like this:
cd /home/username/fah && sudo -u username ./fah6 &

Any Mac guys out there that can tell me how to do a similar effect in OS X? :confused:
 
Slightly embarrassing but I'll post how I got it working. The positive thing is it's extremely easy to someone familiar with Unix CLI. My Mac tower has no KB, mouse, or monitor connected to it. I also want F@H to run without having to log in. I met those conditions with contrab -e.
@reboot /Users/username/Library/Folding@home/fah6
