I'll give it a go!! 😀 -- Let you know the results in the a.m.

--LANMAN
 
That should solve the problem...
However, the latest version of SOB (1.10) has the service handler already within it. It should be your c:\program files\SB folder
in a cmd prompt browse there and type sobsvc -i to install it... then look at the readme for the various switches you'll want to turn on.
You'll probably want -s -m -o but there are others you might find useful.
 
It's a Beowulf cluster we finally got in at work. Unfortunately the wiring for the room it's going in isn't finished yet! :|
 
Now, now, don't get your hopes up. I doubt that I could get permission to do any long term DC, but it may be possbile to run some "benchmarks". This machine will be getting heavy research use anyway. I was just trying to determine a nice, easy project to try out on this puppy, and wanted to see if SOB had progressed any in this manner. It looks like a bit of work on the linux end to get it to do what I want, so I may end up doing something I know will be easy, like ecc2. My decision will depends on how busy I am after assembling the Beowulf and installing neccessary compilers/debuggers, etc.
 
I ran the service and found it was actually slower then running the GUI. 🙁

176k instead of 196k.

--LANMAN
 
I ran the service on my XP machine at home and the client would start then stop. The log said error #4.

--LANMAN
 
LANMAN
Error number4 means that the GUI client has the box checked to: Start on Windows startup.

Uncheck the box, save the config, and then restart the service.

On the thread note, I just recruited a new member: Infinity312....he should be along shortly. 😀😀😀 Crunching on 4 processors. 😀
 
Does this project "play nice" with others such as SETI? If so, I've got 2 OC'ed XP-1700's crunchin' that might have room for more....
 
Hey guys, I just wanted to let you all know that I'm running on 9 machines as of last night 11:00 EST... I'm hoping to add some more soon...
