Change number of workers not interactively

Mcbsc · 2015-03-09, 11:55

Hi,
Is there anyway to change the number of workers by modifying configuration file (without using the interactive promt)?
I'd like to run mprime by shell script and incrementing the number of cpus used.

Thank you

You'll have to stop mprime/Prime95, modify prime.txt and/or local.txt as you wish, then restart mprime/Prime95.

The `sed` command is great for what you want. That works great for Linux/Mac. If you're on Windows, there are options, including using PowerShell:

Code:

get-content prime.txt | %{$_ -replace "expression","replace"}

I've never used PowerShell myself though.
