User Accounts

[DeadlyAura]

I'm trying to get back into folding and had a question about using FAH with user accounts.

Each computer in my office has 3-4 user accounts on each. If I install the FAH council, will FAH run when users log out? Or will the council close? Basically I was wondering if FAH will run on the same WU on different user accounts and also when no user is logged in.

You would need a user to be logged in, most likly your tieing it to a users startup to run, if they log-out, you lose the WU being worked on.

What OS?
You may be able to have it run as a service.....ie no log in requred

 

[DeadlyAura]

Windows XP if it helps.

That's a shame. Was hoping I'd be able to get all my office computers folding again. =(

 

[nitrobass24]

XP you can install it as a service

Uniprocessor wont, but GPU console and SMP will install as service IIRC

I stand corrected

Are you sure of this? Or are you guessing?

I'd like to know for sure before I install it on all workstations then have it start dropping WUs every time someone logs out.

I am not sure. You might PM flecom to see if he had to deal with that.

I can confirm 100% that the uniprocessor client will run as a service, since I have been doing that for years.

You are correct. I had forgotten that you could install FAH as a service. I did that today on all my office machines. Seems to be working flawlessly. We'll see how my work units reflect this.
