Or you can simply wipe out the line ;-)
Super user install and cache setup (system wide installation)
Follow these steps (as superuser):
- unpack tarball
- cd lin-seti-<version>
- ./configure
- make
- make install
- adjust /etc/lin-seti/lin-setirc to suit your needs
- Start up your internet connection
- lin-seti -t (this downloads the first work unit)
- follow the instructions of the seti client and download your first work unit
- lin-seti -C 10 (this brings the cache size to 10 units)
- lin-seti -t (this downloads the remaining 9 units)
Your cache is now correctly set up: launching lin-seti your work units will be automatically analyzed one afted the other. To send results and receive new units from now on type lin-seti -t
There is no need to stop analysis to send and receive.
Of course you can set the cache size to whatever you want!
If you have the init script installed you can /etc/init.d/lin-seti start and the program will run in daemon mode, analyzing work units without having to be logged in.
You can also make the daemon start automatically when you power on your machine:
under gentoo: rc-update add lin-seti default
under redhat/mandrake: make lin-seti init script be started in runlevel 3 or 5
under slackware: change /etc/rc.d/rc.lin-seti file mode so that it is executable
other distros: figure it out yourself ;-P
Normal users install and cache setup (home directory installation)
Follow these steps (as normal user):
- unpack tarball
- cd lin-seti-<version>
- ./configure
- make
- make install
- cd
- adjust .lin-setirc to suit your needs
- cd lin-seti
- Start up your internet connection
- ./lin-seti -t (this downloads the first work unit)
- follow the instructions of the seti client and download your first work unit
- ./lin-seti -C 10 (this brings the cache size to 10 units)
- ./lin-seti -t (this downloads the remaining 9 units)
There is no need to stop analysis to send and receive.
Of course you can set the cache size to whatever you want!
