Re: [FP-Ops] New Foldy6 -- Help Thread
All my computers are on UPS, it can pay to wait for a sale before buying. |

I like APC SmartUPS, too, but you may not consider those inexpensive. Look at BackUPS Pro if you don't like SmartUPS prices. Doublecheck this, but I think you can change the batteries in those, too.

| I've used UPS, but didn't think the type I had worked very effectively over time. Are there any NiMH or Lithium now like laptops use?
It been a while since I've thought about UPS, and generally, my electric is very reliable at my current location. Especially since some circuits were split to avoid the hairdryer power outage situations.

As long as we are talking about UPS units, I learned the hard way not to prefer Tripplite.
Back when I had all those AMD duallies, I bought four Smart1500XL UPS units because they were less expensive than the SmartUPS1000XL I had purchased several months before that.
Three of those four TL units have croaked now and the SmartUPS is still working like new. When the APC SU battery does give out, I will order the replacement through APC. They will ship the new battery and give me a postage prepaid shipping label so I can ship the old one back for recyle at no cost to me. As parkut said, replacing the APC batteries is really easy.
Well, they are rather heavy, which is why the 60 or so pounders are as big as I will buy. If they were not so heavy or I was stronger, I would buy much bigger ones and not so many of them.
I called Tripplite about my dead TL monsters and they don't want anything to do with me. So, I can trade them in at APC for a discounted price on APC UPS units or find an electrician locally who will replace the batteries for me. I'll probably still need to order the replacement batteries. Still trying to decide what to do about those.

| Use the Trade-Ups program from APC. I did when one of my older units died instead of replacing the battery.(same policy,return shipping label). I just replaced the batteries in my 2 smaller units. I have one to go, but it's still doing ok considering I have an extra battery pack installed on that one for extended run time. (don't really need it now since I've re-arranged how my equipment is hooked up. I just need a separate one for the modem/router/switch media cabinet )

1 edit | I need to get the prices for each possibility and then think about it, I guess.
Edit: I do have time since I don't have much in the way of folding equipment left. Four years of daughter without work and a 32-year-old home needing help have changed my priorities.  |

said by Gargoyle :said by parkut :Well, what needs to be done is for you to start uploading some files so that foldy.nozero.org and fah-tool.org can show your blade. Agreed. Foldy6 has now completed 8 of those big "system" proteins. I will focus on getting the stat reporting in place. Looks like you were derailed with UPS solutions.
Perhaps this will help get the focus back on the tracks.
Totally freeware package of unixutils ported for Windows, plus the cURL utility (also freeware).
I condensed it to only the tools that you would need, plus a few extra that are helpful in some cases.
If you need to know how to set it up, that can be arranged. Both Jim, and I, are familiar with the process. It only takes a few minutes to download, and set it up.

I will do the down load and install in the coming week. Then call for help to finish the job. Hang in there, I may be old and slow ... but I will get this done.

| This may help, when you can find the time.
Not sure of your FAH directory structure, but can be edited to fit your needs.
[ATT=1]
Just rename it to whatever.bat, and set it as a scheduled task to run every three(or less) hours.
It depends on you completing step one first though. |

where x = 1, 2, 3, 4
I am looking at the uploader file you posted right now.
I created a batch file for it and put it in a directory structure C:\scripts\fahtool\
How do I set it to run every 3 hours?

Mine is D:\UnxUtils. (My D: drive is what I use for my programs and scripts, in case I have to format the C: drive.)
The main thing is, you will have to edit your Windows environment PATH variable to include the wbin folder in the UnxUtils dir.
This one. UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin
Do you know how to do that?
Edit: Fixed typos. |

Windows Task Scheduler.
Set the .bat to run daily, then under the schedule tab (advanced button), set it to run every 3 hours, for a duration of 24 hours.
I will see if I can get you an image. |

I looked for help in the Windows Help and Support area, but couldn't find anything there.

| I'll point. See if this helps.
Start > Control Panel > System > Advanced Tab, Environment Variables button > System variables > highlight CLASSPATH > click the Edit button
Add a semicolon at the end of the path and then the path to your batch file?
I think this is what he is after, anyway.

Naturally, you OK your way out and probably need to reboot to put the new info in memory at startup. |

Close, but he needs to add the path to the wbin folder in the UnxUtils dir. Not the path to the .bat file.
Also, it is the PATH or Path variable. I am not sure about the CLASSPATH. I always use the Path one.
The path variable addition is needed so Windows knows where to find the unixutil exe's to run them when called from the .bat file.
I don't have Vista, but I will see if I can come up with an XP Pro tutorial. Should just be minor differences.
Edit: Clarified the PATH variable statement a bit. |

Running 4 clients, the TwoFrogs script would be perfect.
I know there has been general ones ...
Wondering how handy TF is?
Thanks Steve for your tireless assistance!
