Description Yosef Meller 2005-01-26 07:03:09 UTC 
foldingathome provides for status information built in, kept in the file 'unitinfo.txt'. That information could be used to give a status message for the foldingathome service.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Adds a status() function to the init-script to add requested feature

The patch is against the init-script from foldingathome-4.0.0
Comment 2 Brandon Low (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-03 09:55:09 UTC 
I will add this to 5.0.2-r2 later today.
Comment 3 Brandon Low (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-03 09:59:10 UTC 
I lied, this will not be done, because status in gentoo is just started or stopped.

A patch that is OK with the initscript policies

I've changed this to give the status message via a new option. Now run
/etc/init.d/foldingathome unitinfo.
Comment 5 Brandon Low (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-04 12:22:14 UTC 
Hmm, sounds pretty good, I'll double check on this, make it handle multiple clients (as we have supported in 5.0.2) and add it.
Comment 6 Brandon Low (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-04 12:54:42 UTC 
Fixed in CVS.  Thanks, I enhanced the patch a bit, but I think you'll like it.  foldingathome-5.0.2-r2 added, I will try to push it to stable soon.
