FoldWatcher is an integrated monitoring environment for Folding@Home Clients designer for Linux and *nix Systems. It allows to quickly check the progress of up to 100 clients and retrieve valuable information from the Work Unit being processed. It can fetch your personal stats or your team's stats and show them into the main window, enabling even printing and exporting them in PDF. Along with the 'finstall' script, it can be used to start or stop running Folding@Home clients. Moreover, it integrates the ability - using either the RasMol Open-Source 3D Molecule Viewer or the JMol WebSite's Java Applet - to view the protein being folded.

FoldWatcher is entirely coded in C++, using the Qt (Version 4.3) library, which may allow in the future an easy porting of the application even to the Microsoft Windows environment.

Linux or *nix - Any machine capable of running a modern X server, of either i386 or amd64 architecture.

FoldWatcher makes use of the Open-Source Molecule Viewer Rasmol and RasMol-Gtk. Even without this application being installed, FoldWatcher will try to evoque JMol WebSite's Java Applet integrated Molecule Viewer in order to be able to show you the actual protein being folded.

Please read the INSTALL file.
