 FAHMonitorNote: FAHMonitor is still available and supported, but another program, nFoldMan, is a newer generation of this service, with more capabilities. You might like to investigate nFoldMan too. FAHMonitor is a simple program that displays the stats of one or two Mac OS X command-line (console mode) processes running Stanford's Folding@Home distributed computing client for protein folding. |

This will work only on Mac OS X, with the console-mode (not the graphic) client. It's been tested only on Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) and 10.3 (Panther). 10.3 is the fully supported version. As of release 1.7, the program functions on 10.2 as well, with some small changes in the user interface.
Note that FAHMonitor doesn't control the client processes, it just monitors them. If you want to be able to start, stop, and pause multiple processes from within the application, see nFoldMan.
