hey, anyone know how to get the OS X version running? All I get is an unidentified file that prompts for what app to open it with when I download the OS X version. Just wondering, maybe I just need to wait for a real OS X version instead of this Darwin crap!

I found that to be really confuseing with crontabs and what not so I just messed around with it and found it out

Download the client

put it in a folder that you know where it is

open up the Terminal

drage the little document DNECT form the PCC OSX forlder on to the terminal and you should see the words saying that Dnect lacated on the folder

then hit enter

now you will see the same set up screen to set it up in OS 9 and now you need to change the work load to only RC5 not ORC or any other.

If you want to reconfigure the settings then insted of hitting return you trype "-config" minus"" and you go back to the config window

try it out and see if it works becasue it worked for me

When I get OSX running on a comp again I'll post a script so that you don't have to use cron.
It is what I used, it ran dnetc at startup.

That would be sweet.

Yes, now I am curious about how AppleScript interacts with the Terminal. I knew the command line would lead to some fun in OS X!

[Scotttheking]

I don't know how it does.
The script was given to me by someone else, and it is UNIX. I know how to modify some of it, but not all of it.

I'm planning on learning OSX this summer.
I may even get OSX Server 2.0, if I can get a machine to run it.

What's the command you enter to get dnetc to run in the background in OSX? I didn't write the sucker down last time someone gave it to me. It's something like /& dnetc, I think. I just can't recall.

[Scotttheking]

In command line, get to the directory that RC5 is in.
Type ./dnetc -quiet

That is all.

Thank you, Mr. King.

OK, I did this. But now how do I kill this process when I need to? I see it's not listed as a process when I do a ps. I don't even know for sure that it's running, though I followed your instructions above.

[Scotttheking]

Run 'top'.
Look for dnetc.
note the process number.
quit top.
type 'kill <process #>'

So, I updated to 10.0.3 and got the client to run, but it seems a lot slower. May be running larger packets, tho. Will see when it finishes a set. yup, about a third as fast.
Sure will be glad when OS X grows up... back to 9.1

You mean a script in /library/StartupItems/ ? I just made one for my own use last week. I don't know much about making a tarball or package or anything, but I'd be willing to put it on my iDisk if there's interest.

[Scotttheking]

Yep, that is what it is.
What is cool is that is says "starting distributed.net client" in the bootup box thing (haven't used OSX in a while).
Unless I'm being ripped off, I'll have a Tibook Friday.
I'll post the script then, unless you want to.

Test

[cwasko]

I'm running RC5 on a dual 533 with OSX Server 2.0.

It dosn't seem to be giving me the results I was expecting. I have all the setting set to 'automatic' and have even tried setting the manualy to take advantage of the dual CPUS... howver, it is only doing 4.817M k/s when I run the benchmark. Does the benchmark routine not understand the dual?

[Scotttheking]

Multiply that by 2 and you have your crunch rate.
It is telling you one processor's score.

slightly OT, maybe, but I don't know if anyone else is signed up on the macevangelist RC5 list. Here's a post that may or may not be useful (hopefully not, thpbbt)

&gt; Is there really no GUI type RC5 for Mac OS X ?
&gt; I am gradually spending more and more time on OSX, and the CLI
&gt; version just seems too much trouble to handle all the details.

There is a wrapper. I have a screenshot at http://www.carbonhosting.net/realmacshot.tiff

You can download it from the link here http://www.jmv.com.au/OSX_dnetc_wrap...r-2.app.tar.gz

[Scotttheking]

Ok, I posted the script in the public folder of my iDisk.
My name for that is sjaffa.

For the script to run, you need to set one of two things.
Either name the folder dnetc is in to /dnetc and put it in the root of your hard drive or open the text file in the distributeddotnet folder and change the path to where you copy is.

Put the distributeddotnet folder in /system/library/startupitems

Reboot.

Check if it is running, it should be.
That is it.
