I just realized the same thing after a rare reboot.
What would I need to do to make the prog start automatically on
reboot?
Would a cron job do it?

I suppose you could cron the start up, but why go to that trouble? If you're
using either of the main window managers couldn't you just save the session
and watch it resume after you log back in? I'm fairly positive kcron would do
it, but the folding app runs in user space so why get root involved at all?
g
I never shut K-Mail (Kontact now) or Mozilla-Thunderbird (different focus and
e-mail server/accounts) or gkrellm and a few others down. They have their
space and resume in that space when I log out and in or after a reboot and
login. Since I choose to run cooker for testing and since new kernels,
changing init-scripts etc are the norm in testing that's the easiest way for
me.
I stopped using a console (Ctrl+Alt+F1-6) for folding a while back, I just run
it in konsole on desktop 6 and leave it there with any other command line
apps that have to run unattended for long periods.

Charlie

So far, I've not found anything that dumbs it down to the degree that I apparently need today. Don't know about ALL things SETI but there is a good graphical interface called TkSETI - http://www.cuug.ab.ca/~macdonal/tkseti/tkseti.html. This allows pausing, stopping and starting the setiathome client and displays a history of your largest spikes, gaussians, triplets etc. and also gives you an equatorial sky map showing all the regions you have processed and the location of spikes etc. what have you. Setiathome supplies xsetiathome, which may be similar. Presumably you have a link for that. AFAIK you need a setiathome directory under /home/user for the current workfiles and the binary installed somewhere in your PATH. Hope this isn't too patronizing. While you are looking to use spare cpu cycles you might consider the protein folding project at Stanford University, which has the probable advantage of being more useful in the long run. I think it was Joe Hill who originally recommended that.
