Another noob question

I just got my E6600 up and folding, but I would like to run PCMark, and 3DMark on the rig to see what it scores. My question is...how can I safely stop the client while I'm running this, or for games in the future. I searched, but couldn't find my answer.

Thanks

Any text only client running on the desktop should be stopped with ctrl-c.

This includes standard (single core) clients v5.04, v5.02 and earlier, as well as all the SMP clients and the GPU client.

If you are running any of them as a windows service, you need to use windows services manager to stop them manually(they will be stopped automatically with windows shutdown). There are bat files/shortcuts you can create to do this easily if you need to do it often (example in the welcome sticky for starting/stopping wedo's 1-click install, or shortcut to services.msc, etc)

You can probably find this in the fah wiki http://fahwiki.net/index.php?title=Main_Page

The wiki is also linked from the top of every page at fc.org ie. http://forum.folding-community.org

If you run a gui client (not recommended) it has it own gui controls to start, stop etc.

I am running it as a service, but the FAH service only gives me the option to start it even thought it is already running.


CTRL-C stopped it proper. Sorry for wasting the space here, and thanks for the help....again.

Click to expand...

you can't stop a service with ctrl-c since there is no window to give focus to to send the ctrl-c to.

The fah config option only sets it up to run as a service.
