FAH6 as a service under Linux

[pjkenned]

Wanted to see if anyone has FAH setup under Linux to startup as a service. I had my Ubuntu box restart for some unknown reason and I wanted to see if anyone had a way to do this.

I have -smp -bigadv in the config file and already tried running ./fah6 as a startup application but that seemed to have not worked.

Goal is, of course, to just have a headless Ubuntu install that when I power on the box, it folds.

Anyone have thoughts? I have a Sabertooth P67 and a still boxed i7-2600K waiting to get in on some action.

You could set up a init script, like here or just run it with screen from local.start for example ( screen -d -m /fahpath/fahclient )

to startup on boot you need to give the fully qualified path for the fah script

./fah6 as a startup would not work as ./ says current directory for the fah6 executable file

so /path/to/fah6 should work, you can even add an & at the end to have it run in the background.

you can do other things too like chkconfig --add, vi inittab, cron job to check if fah is running, if not /path/to/fah6, etc...
