Mersenne: Prime95 on linux, a tech question

1999-06-03 Thread f_3

I'm trying to run mprime on a (test)webserver (linux/apache) with no
console access.
Now I can start mprime remotely through telnet - which works fine.
But as soon as I quit the particular telnet-session  - mprime quits too.
Anybody can give me a hint how do keep mprime running?

thanks in advance

Sure..
I run mprime remotely on a server by using a simple 
"./mprime  /dev/null " command. The " /dev/null" suppresses output and 
the "" makes MPrime run in the background. If you want output in a file 
simply replace "/dev/null" with the filename.

Mersenne: Update of web pages

1999-06-03 Thread Steinar H . Gunderson

Hi, and congratulations to all of you for the (probable) prime.

Even though it's not 100% certain and published yet, would it be an idea to
update GIMPS' and PrimeNet's web pages, with at least a note of the finding?

Mersenne: Second LL

1999-06-03 Thread Aaron Schaufenbuel

 Congratulations to everyone from GIMPS on the new *probable* prime, especially 
George! Just wondering, can you tell us when the second LL test will be finished, I'm 
guessing that your running it on something alittle faster than a standard PIII?

You might also want to look at the nohup and nice commands,
depending on what exactly you are trying to do.  If you've got root
access (and the permission on the box's owner) you can also set
mprime up to start when the system boots by modifying the init files
in /etc/rc.d.

I've been in contact with Slowinski and Gage.  Cray time is a little
scarce right now.  However, a volunteer has started the test today 
running at idle priority.  It will probably take 4 weeks but could be less.

Ernst Mayer has also begun a verification.  It too will take about 4 weeks
depending on what speed hardware he can get his hands on.

Patience,
George
