NOTE: To limit the number of cores that run the application use ./crunch -p 2 in Linux and just crunch.exe -p 2 in Windows to use two cores. This lets you contribute without noticeably impacting other work on the machine. By default crunch uses all cores.
For all the following you need to be in the folder that crunch is in to run the command.
You can run in the background so you do not need to keep the cmd window open:
Windows: In CMD window: start /B crunch.exe options from below
To stop it after: taskkill /IM crunch.exe /F
Ubuntu/Linux: In a Terminal window: ./crunch &
(The terminal will output a job number and a Process ID (PID) (e.g., [1] 28453).)
To stop later: kill PID Number. like kill 28453
