Re: [newbie] Linux SETI Client assistance needed
Well, it should do it by default unless you specify otherwise. What command are you using to start it? ./setiathomeis the basic command you need. Use -nice 19 to make it play nice when you use another app that requires your resources. One needs to use -stop_after_process to get it to not send back the info until you restart it (used for dial up access I suppose). So I'm not sure why yours isn't exhibiting the default behavior without your having input instructions not to. What command are you using? What version are you using? -s On Monday 18 June 2001 11:13 pm, you wrote: Can anyone on the list give me any suggestions on how to make the seti@home mailto:seti@home command line version for linux automatically dial in and send when a unit is completed and download a new unit like the one on Windows ;-P does?

I suspect what he wants is for seti to make a dialup connection, send and receive its stuff, then hang up the phone.

Or go to www.linuxapps.com and look for multiseti.pl That's a nice Perl script that allows you to download upto 10 WU's, process them, and then you can upload the results in one stroke, after which upto 10 new WU's can be downloaded and processed. Works wonderful for me. (Holland has local phone charges too, you know.) If you can't find multiseti, let me know and I can mail it to who wants it. Paul

I guess he could add the lines demand and idle 300 to his /etc/ppp/options file to get dial on demand and timeout after 300 seconds of inactivitiy. read man pppd On Tuesday 19 June 2001 05:15, Michel Clasquin wrote: On Tuesday 19 June 2001 09:06, s wrote: Well, it should do it by default unless you specify otherwise.

Can anyone on the list give me any suggestions on how to make the seti@home mailto:seti@home command line version for linux automatically dial in and send when a unit is completed and download a new unit like the one on Windows ;-P does? I've tried the various options provided with the program but they don't help at all and it is a real drag having to manually send and receive data. Thanks Charles Wackerman Carthage, NC
