distributed.net client for the unix family document revision $Id: readme._ix,v 1.10 2008/12/30 13:24:41 andreasb Exp $ Welcome to the distributed.net client. This document covers information specific to the client for *ix. Refer to other enclosed documentation or browse the online FAQ at http://faq.distributed.net/ for non-platform-specific documentation. 1.0 Getting started 2.0 *ix specific notes 1.0 Getting started ------------------------------------------------ Just unpack/unzip/untar the client in a directory of your choice and fire it up. If you have never run the client before, it will initiate the menu-driven configuration. Save and quit when done. Then, simply restart the client. From that point on it will use the saved configuration. The configuration options are fairly self-explanatory and can be run at any time by starting the client with the '-config' option. A list of command line options is available by starting the client with '-help' or '--help'. A complete step-by-step guide to running your first client is available at: http://www.distributed.net/docs/tutor_clients.php 2.0 Notes: --------------------------------------------------------- Beginning with v2.7101, the client's default directory is the one the configuration file is located in, which in turn is assumed to be in the same directory the binary is in (if the binary was started with an explicit path spec). To specify another configuration file use the -ini switch. Beginning with v2.7102, multi-threaded clients can be forced to run single-threaded by setting the number of CPUs (the numcpu= option in the configuration file or the -numcpu switch on the command line) to zero. Also beginning with v2.7102, the restriction on the number of processors has been lifted. The client will run with as many processors as are available (the client will attempt autodetection if numcpu is -1). If your client does not support processor or processor-count autodetection and you know how to accomplish this on your platform send a code snippet to <coders@distributed.net> Also (herewith officially) beginning with v2.7102, the client is always nohup'able. Sensibly enough, -HUP causes a restart. Beginning with this release, *nix'ish clients also support -hide/-quiet mode. User level '>/dev/null &' is deprecated, since it does not allow the client to warn the user when it fails to start. With -hide/-quiet you can be sure that the client has started successfully if you do not get a message to the contrary. Beginning with v2.7110.442, the process name (as seen from ps or top) is uniform 'rc5des'/'dnetc'. This is to facilitate scripted or system-wide --pause, --unpause, --shutdown and --restart As of November 7th, 1998, much of the client source, including all the core crunch code that was previously scattered about, is available online at http://www.distributed.net/source/
