[QUOTE=ssybesma;522289]The 'd' switch acts to continue mprime? That's what I'm looking for.


The readme.txt file says this about the 'd' switch and that's why I had to ask:


-d Prints more detailed information to stdout. Normally mprime does not send any output to stdout.[/QUOTE]

I think just running [c]./mprime &[/c] will run it in the background. So if you want it start at boot use [c]crontab -e[/c] and make the entry:

[code]
@reboot cd /home/ssybesma/mprime/ && ./mprime &
[/code]

The next time the machine boots it will run mprime.

[QUOTE=ssybesma;522280]The command "pkill -int mprime" only stops the program but does not exit I found. I guess '-int' is equivalent to '-SIGINT'.

I was able to get to the command line using "killall mprime" which is the same thing as manually entering 5 to exit.
If there's a more graceful way to get to the command line, perhaps I should string the two commands together?[/QUOTE]


Sorry about that, the pkill -int is good for gpuowl which expects Control-C.
