Configuration
There are two ways to configure the programs.
- Via the file ~/.wcginitrc
- Via the individual programs
We'll discuss these two possiblities now.
- Via the file ~/.wcginitrc
To put this to use, you need to supply several variables (and their values, of course) and store these items into that file.
a. For wcgformat there is no special variable to configure.
b. For wcglog there are two special variables to configure:
| Variable-name | Default value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| SEARCHDIRS | .BOINC BOINC WCG wcg www tmp | This variable indicates the subdirectories to search when trying to locate the logfile |
| SEARCHNAMS | WCG wcg |
Note: The final location and name of the logfile is constructed from one of the individual values of $SEARCHDIRS/$SEARCHNAMS, e.g. "tmp/wcg". The individual values, like "WCG" and "wcg", are separated by spaces only.
c. For wcgmembercmp there are two special variables to configure:
| Variable-name | Default value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| USERNAME | (none) | This variable indicates the name of your account with which you're crunching |
| TEAMNAME | (none) | This variable indicates the name of the team in which you're participating |
Final note: the variable-names are in capitals only.
