These proggies help you keep track of your DC boxes:
Electron Microscope...also a good general DC site with links. By our very own LPerry aka TheWeatherman. Top Pick!!

FahMon is a small windows app. to monitor your clients
.
fahstats monitors your clients Via FAHlog
Linux users
fci is a utility that will monitor your clients over the internet.
Server side is all Linux while client side can be windows or linux.
GKrellFAH is an add on for the popular linux system utility GKrellM.
Gkrellfah2 plugin for GkrellM2
For those of you who run gDesklets. Here is a cool little Widget called Fold-Gauge
karamba theme for folding It only displays well when run in KDE.
fpd Folding Protein Display for Linux.
FoldMonitor/GenomeMonitor This is a Perl/Tk app that shows a bunch of data about the folding process.
Works in Linux and Windows
Mac users
InFold
If you are looking for a Folding@home monitor for your OS X clients, InFold is used for a single client where InFold DP is used for a dual processor setup
.

What is it ? It's a page where you can select a fah project, display a molecule from this project and then play with it : zooming, rotating, changing display options ...
How does it work ? It uses Jmol applet. Jmol is a Java molecular viewer for 3D chemical structures. The current stable version is 10.00, the next version will be able to read and display the current.xyz files found in the work folder of fah.

brings you the following:
Brought to you by the sick talent of team 32....
Overclockix is a Linux Live CD based on the distribution Knoppix by Klaus Knopper. It has been extensively modifed in many ways, not the least of which is the addition of a folding@home service, and many useful scripts for the monitoring and managment of said DC project. It also has Prime95 and Seti@home, but those two are not set to run automatically at boot.
A Live CD is just another way of saying it is an instant OS that boots from CD, detects your [H]ardware, and starts running as if you had a fully installed Linux system (though a bit slower). It's full of programs, utilites and features- so many I couldn't possibly list them in less than 2000 words.
The point So what is it good for? Well if your [H]DD or OS breaks, it can substitue temporarily to keep your system folding. It can recover data, and resize or ghost partitions. It can be used to put together minimal-hardware folding boxen. (My best price/Ghz to date is just a tad over $100 for a 2Ghz Duron system (no peripherals, no hdd, no case). Now maybe an LTSP-style moster farm is a better solution in the long run, but a Live CD is much simpler to setup (ie. it takes about one minute to boot it, compared to a few hours of installing and configuring an LTSP server.)
Suffice it to say, here is how you can use it-
download the iso http://overclockix.octeams.com
burn an image of the iso
boot from the CD
click on the monitor w/ clamshell icon
For folding type: cfgfold
For seti:
foldoff
cfgseti (enter user info)
For Prime:
foldoff
primeon
The most common problem is unsupported network cards. I do try to add drivers as soon as people report a problem with one. If this is the case, you'll need to stick in a PCI card and try again or put in a request and wait for an update to the iso.
Overclockix now runs a vncserver automatically, so you can monitor it from another box on your lan. It is also possible to save folding progress and configurations across a reboot in a couple of different ways. It is possible to install to a hard drive and fairly simple to do.
If anyone is interested in remastering the CD to give it a different default folding username and team #, be my guest. Knoppix.net is a great source of info, and overclockix also has its own support forum where you can talk to me if you need help using it.
