Once again, I am pushing the envelope of my limited computer knowledge.

I am running F@H5.04. I firstly want to confirm that it is as simple as when the dos window is open, it is working, but close the window and stop the program.
Second question is, when it is running, how do I alter any of the configuration options? Do I have to stop and start it?
Third question, which kind of negates the second, is having asked it to run as a service, it now is. But how do I change any of the config? Do I have to stop then restart with the appropriate flag?

Then, just to make the whole thing really really interesting:
I decided my old PIII was a bit slow in 98 2nd ed. with the old F@H, so I decided to install F@H on the Ubuntu partition that my dad had set up over christmas. However, unlike the sketchy memory I have of dos, I have no idea about ubuntu!
So having installed F@H5.04 on Ubuntu (Gutsy Gibbon) which was a minor triumph and a major phone call; can someone help me with questions 1 to 3 on Ubuntu- especially as I have entered a slightly different name, and I would far rather change it on the program while it runs (are the flags for F@H the same??) than look schizophrenic in the team table!
Actually, instead of question 3, does Ubuntu have a 'task manager' because I wonder if the program is still running?

Thanks for the time.
