sun-solaris. I think I can use the same script.....

Someone can provide me with a script that can do this?

This is what I have for running GIMPS. I also use a similar one for such as f@h until s@h transmutes into BOINC...


#!/bin/bash

# GIMPS mprime background task
# Good as a diagnostics check for the CPU and memory
# Also keeps the CPU usefully idling
mprime='/home/bgusr/.mprime/mprime'

# Ensure only one mprime is running!
killall $mprime 2>&1 >/dev/null
$mprime -d 2>&1 >>/var/log/mprime/mprime_details.log &


Call the above script from the end of "/etc/rc.d/rc.local" or you could just add your script onto the end rc.local directly.

Obviously, replace the mprime details with the equivalent for s@h cli client.

I use a dummy user "bgusr" to run 'background' tasks. Limits the damage if anything should go wrong!


Good luck,
Martin
