F@H Linux CLI Live Logs?

[Sunshine1868]

Hey guys, just started FAH and I'm wondering if there is a sort of live-updating log that displays in the command line?

 

(using the command line because it is a headless server)

Not that I'm aware of.  You are the first person I've heard asking for it.

 

You might try asking at the main folding website here: https://foldingforum.org.  

They are pretty good about following the posts, and since they are the ones responsible for the design and implementation of the client software, if anyone knows, it would be them.

I figured it out, using "tail -f /var/lib/fahclient/log.txt" prints the last 10 lines of the log file and then follows (hence the -f flag) the file and prints each new line to the display.

ahhh - if you just want the most recent log entries, that's pretty easy, and you can run it on a timer for automatic updates...

 

Now if you could limit it's output to a a short "status" window at the bottom of the screen, that'd be sweet
