Bug 20327 – broken stop() in foldingathome init.d script

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Roderick van Domburg 2003-05-02 09:05:40 UTC]

Currently, stop() in /etc/init.d/foldingathome only tries to kill
FahCore_78.exe. However, the exact filename depends on the actual project
running. For instance, my Folding@Home 3.24 is currently running FahCore_65.exe.

This causes the computation core to be shutdown incorrectly. Although I haven't
experienced any grave failures (i.e. lost work or anything of the kind) other
than complaints on the console, I have attached a substitute init.d script.

This new init.d script basically cycles through all available projects in
/opt/foldingathome and tries to shutdown every one of them.

Fixed /etc/init.d/foldingathome

Fixes stop() by cycling through all available projects.

Fixed /etc/init.d/foldingathome (revised)

A cosmetic update to the previous version. Now only kills FahCore*.exe,
supressing all output if one of the cores wasn't running.
