How to enable -verbosity 9 flags when using the Client Installer on Mac OS X

From FaHWiki

General

The default configuration of the "no-fuss" and "100% Mom friendly" Mac OS X SMP Client Installer should not need any tweaking after it's installed. Everything that's required to run is working by default. But in certain situations it may be desirable to enable more verbose output in FAHlog.txt. E.g. several client monitors show more accurate information when the "Timered checkpoint triggered." lines are included in the FAHlog.txt.

The Client Installer lets the launchd program manage the SMP client on Mac OS X. It installs the Folding@Home Property list in /Library/LaunchDaemons/Folding@home.plist. Every Property list contains the key ProgramArguments which contains an array of commandline arguments that should be passed to the program.

Edit the Folding@Home.plist file with your favorite text editor (as root/with sudo), and add two strings to the end of the array for the -verbosity and 9 arguments.

<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
  <string>/Applications/Folding@home.app/fah6</string>
  <string>-verbosity</string>
  <string>9</string>
</array>

Note: Do not put "-verbosity 9" in the same string, this will produce an error.

Save the file and restart the client through the PreferencePane. Or use launchctl in a Terminal:

# open root shell
sudo -i

# stop and disable the client
launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/Folding\@home.plist

# wait for the fah cores to clean up (press Ctrl+C to exit watch)
watch -n 1 "ps aux | grep -i fah"

# start the client and remove the Disabled key
launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/Folding\@home.plist
