[FAD] Linux

[iNeb]

I just install fad for linux on my slackware machine and followed the readme, how do i make sure it is running? The linux client is nowhere near the windows client

Decided to run it on my slackware machine, since it does nothing but sit there.

Do i need to run it each time i log off x or restart my machine?

Do you use linux all the time or what? I'm new to linux and since my machine is just sitting there on all the time i want to run it.

What problems are you having? I install it i think, i read the readme.

iNeb: Yes, you have to start think everytime you logout and log back in. I believe there is a way to make it start up with your machine, but someone else will have to help you out with that...

You can use the 'top' command(without quotes) to see a command line equivalent of the windows task manager. It will show you processes and the current CPU usage and other statistics like that. The way you can make sure think is running.

Right, to check it is running, run top in a console, this lists the running programs along with stuff like PIDs, Virtual pages and CPU usage. THINK should just be sitting there at the top with the highest usage, or at least some.
To make it start when you boot up, add the following lines to /etc/rc,d/rc.local. You will need to change the /usr/local/think to whatever place you installed it.

cd /usr/local/think
./server -auto &
./think -n 0 &

They will be automatically killed when you go into runlevel 0 or 6 (shutdown and reboot) and will start when you boot into any multi-user runlevel. I'm not sure if rc.local is executed in single-user mode, but it shouldn't matter.
