Hey...i just got a mac with osx 10.3 and i want to set the folding client to run like a service in windows...any ideas?

Have you tried this link?
http://folding.stanford.edu/OSX/OSX.html#console

It acts like you only have to answer the question about service during the initial install and it will do it for you.

At one point back in the day, there used to be an actual OSX service mode installer, but its long since disappeared. http://www.hardfolding.com/index.php?go=48, that guide should give you what you need to know though, not quite an always on service, but the best you can do with a Mac for now.

See...that is for a single user...i want it to be able to load in the background when the system starts...any linux heads want tell me how they can do this on linux since i can pretty much dulicate it on the mac....PLEASE!!!!! Oh yeah...i need to be able to add the -local tag too.

FOR THE HORDE

as root:
edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local
Add your command to this file, example:

./home/user/folding/FAH-Linux.exe -local

save file, reboot.

Another way that I use for a few macs is to set it up as a cron job:

@reboot /Users/username/fah5 -forceasm -advmethods

to edit the crontab type crontab -e

Press insert

type in the command

Press Escape

:w to write the file

:q to quit vi
