Mac OS X Hints -
I also wanted to run the CLI version of Seti@HOME but decided to use the StartupItems mechanism as found in OS X System Overview. At boot it gets launched and then cron isn't always trying to re-launch it. Here's what I did (as root): create the folder "StartupItems" in
/Library, create a folder named "SetiAtHome" in it, and then a file of the same name in that folder. Also, you need a StartupParameters.plist file in this folder. I placed the Seti@HOME files in a "bin" folder in the "SetiAtHome" folder to make the whole thing portable. Hierarchy: /Library/StartupItems/ /Library/StartupItems/SetiAtHome/ /Library/StartupItems/SetiAtHome/SetiAtHome* /Library/StartupItems/SetiAtHome/StartupParameters.plist /Library/StartupItems/SetiAtHome/bin/ /Library/StartupItems/SetiAtHome/bin/README /Library/StartupItems/SetiAtHome/bin/setiathome* Files: /Library/StartupItems/SetiAtHome/SetiAtHome #!/bin/sh /Library/StartupItems/SetiAtHome/StartupParameters.plist {
The first file needs to be made executable (chmod a+x), the line SETIATHOME=-YES- in /etc/hostconfig toggles it on and off, and setiathome needs to be run once to set it up. I hope this helps

You should bottle this and sell it, so to speak.

in a worst case senerio one could make a shell script that does this :)

ok, this should do it, requires wget (use fink)
sah installer run tar -xvf sah.tar in the sah folder, run ./install.sah enjoy! :) if this doesn't work right, email me, this isn't tested, i've got a diffrent implimentation of SAH on 3 machines!

wow some time in the past 2 years the above linked file got moved!
well, since i was fixing the URL, i figured i'd go the whole 9 yards, and make sure that the script actually works (and it does) enjoy :D
