I have problem with running seti@home at computer startup. In the readme they say:
If you want setiathome to be started automatically, you can
set up a cron job. Add the following line to your crontab:
0 1,5,9,13,17,21 * * * cd <setidir>; ./setiathome -nice 19 > /dev/null 2>
/dev/null
Where <setidir> is the directory where the setiathome client is installed.
This cron job will attempt to start the client once every four hours.
If it is already running, the next invocation will do nothing.
If the client is not running, it will be started.
ps. my crontab look slightly different (-nice 19 ?? nice -n 19) i modified it a bit to check it every hour:
01 * * * * cd /home/xxx/setiathome308; ./setiathome -proxy cache:3128 -graphic
s nice -n 19 > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
But it doesn't work...?
