By the way, firewall rules get reset after a feature update.

I wonder if the gpu would work under windows sandbox or WSL? If you allow remote users on, you might want some combination of these settings. If you want command-allow-no-pass, you also need allow. Or just turn it off with command-enable. Multiple addresses are space seperated. Or you could just set...

If you have other users on there, I would close the ports. You can disable them in the config.

There's no documentation about how to do a silent install. There are other threads about headless installs under the other version of the program. Although securing it is somewhat of a challenge, especially since if you allow remote users, they can change the settings. Also, it's probably better not...

Here's a way to run it under the restricted windows "local service" account: icacls c:\users\myuser\appdata\roaming\fahclient /grant "local service:(OI)(CI)(M)" sc config "folding@home client" obj="NT AUTHORITY\LocalService" The service name gets changed to &q...

Here's a way to check on the clients using the fahclient api. I can't figure out how to do it without using curl.exe that comes with windows 10 1803 and above. 'queue-info','exit' | curl.exe -s telnet://localhost:36330 | select -skip 3 | select -SkipLast 3 | convertfrom-json 'slot-info','exit' | cur...

What's better, 10 computers running at 100% cpu or 100 computers running at 10% cpu?

Trying out modifying the sqlite database, using the sqlite3 shell, to script the connection tab in the gui (take away the doublequotes in cmd): echo "INSERT INTO clients ( name, address, port, password ) VALUES ( 'comp001','comp001','36330','' )" | sqlite3 fahcontrol.db echo "select *...

It's actually running as system, but it's using a permanent admin's profile for the data. It's probably better to have a %user% or %datadir% variable at the top. The data directory could really be anywhere.

Anyone else notice the config.xml has mixed unix and windows line endings, some with carriage returns and some without? But all lines with linefeeds. It's obvious in emacs. It still works anyway.

My install script is on the bottom of page one. The trick is the data directory location is stored in the uninstall part of the registry. The data folder has to be created, but can be empty at first (unless you want all the themes). Then you can copy your config.xml to the data directory. Thanks for...

I would expect the command line version not to depend on that uninstall registry entry for the location of the data?

I didn't realize there was a second page and have been updating my first post, lol. It seems like folding@home has gone out of their way to make this hard to do. Where is the command line version download for Windows?

I saw this during the install: "C:\Program Files (x86)\FAHClient\FAHClient.exe" --install-service the service itself runs as: "C:\Program Files (x86)\FAHClient\FAHClient.exe" --service A lot of things are installed under the current user, AppData\Roaming\FAHClient, including the ...

How would I silently install folding@home in windows at a school?
