EMIII and linux

[kanezfan]

I have two linux boxes at home here running fah, can EMIII monitor their progress? if not, is there another monitoring program that can monitor windows and linux clients at the same time?

I looked on his website and nothing was mentioned in the features. I dont know the file names for linux but you could always try.

There are a few monitoring programs in the Everything about folding thread. Maybe one of those support it. Off hand I dont know of any.

Absolutely...I have this set up like this: My home dir on the linux box is where I run 2 folding clients (it's a dual-cpu box). Then I use samba to share it out. I mapped Z: to the linux samba share and just point EMIII at it as if it were local.

Hope that helps!

Right, put the clients in the areas on Linux boxes you set up to share files between Windows and Linux, and Samba does that nicely (shares from Linux to Windows XP and down). With two boxes, one would share to Z and one Y or use same drive name and different box names for node to share FROM-- to XP, the share is a logical volume, can be a volume name and not a drive letter only. Once Samba is up, XP can see the area Samba shares on a decent LAN setup, and files system on source on a LAN does not at all need to be file system on target for sharing. Samba use is how Windows boxes can use Linux boxes as file servers.

Use existing program, run on XP box, share data to it. IF you want to do the opposite, track on one of the Linux boxes and pull from Windows XP box on a read-only basis, let me know, will see if freshmeat has a reliable one of those kinds of things for that. however, this will need to be a root process on most Linuxes out right now. Most Linuxes on 2.4 core kernels block user access to XP and 200) style NTFS by default-- in the kernel code and fact that NTFS is not fully native for the subversions of NTFS used in 2000 and XP due to journal interaction problems. Easiest to share client data.
