I have 1 F@H running on my dual core E6400 as a Windows Service.

Can I run another F@H as a SERVICE BUT stop it when I want to (like when I want to do video editing, development etc)? And also can I stop the specific one which is the second F@H?
 
You need to run the program with the -local flag. In the stickies there is a thread about editing flags it will help you do this and yes you can you're running a dual core CPU so it would serve you well to run two F@H.

Put them in different places on the harddrive and when you install them as a service then to turn them on and off use services.msc if you're using an OS of 2k or higher.
 
Any service can be stopped/started by clicking start-run and type services.msc and hit enter. This will bring up a list of all the services on your computer. If you use wedo's one click for duallies, there will be a service named FAH1 and another named FAH2. You can start/stop either at any time. I actually have a batch file to start/stop them. To stop both, it would read:
Code:
sc stop FAH1
sc stop FAH2
Another to start:
Code:
sc start FAH1
sc start FAH2

You can play around with it to start/stop any 1 or combination of services you want.
 
hibner said:
from the command line you can type "net stop fah2" and "net start fah2" to restart the service

I forgot about that method. I actually used to use that syntax, but I think I switched to sc because I needed to be able to start/stop services on remote machines. I dont think the net command can do that.
