Revision as of 00:34, 4 December 2005
aMuled is a full featured aMule, running without any user interface (GUI). It is controlled by remote access through aMuleWeb, aMuleCMD, aMuleGUI or other ed2k utilities.
Stripped from GUI, aMuled has reduced memory and CPU requirements and it can run without X at all.
Please note: Remember not to set your max-Connections higher than 1024, since wxBase cannot handle more connections.
If you just need to run aMule on a remote server try Xvfb (see this too).
Startup script
Here is an amuled startup script to make amuled start and stop with your computer. It is derived from the one at aMuleWeb, but follows stricter quoting rules, doesn't require a configuration file in /etc/defaults , and doesn't start a web server. Run su, or prefix commands with sudo, to become root. Edit the USER= line to set it to your current user (as reported by whoami) Copy the script as /etc/init.d/amuled:
cp amuled /etc/init.d/amuled
make it executable
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/amuled
set it to run at startup
#on debian distros: update-rc.d amuled defaults #on a generic distro ln -s /etc/init.d/amuled /etc/rc0.d/K20amuled; ln -s /etc/init.d/amuled /etc/rc1.d/K20amuled; ln -s /etc/init.d/amuled /etc/rc6.d/K20amuled; ln -s /etc/init.d/amuled /etc/rc4.d/S20amuled ln -s /etc/init.d/amuled /etc/rc5.d/S20amuled

test -x "$DAEMON" || exit 0

echo -n "Starting $DESC: "
