Update to hint
Authored by: Anonymous on Aug 25, '01 11:06:39PM

The instruction I gave about the "Start seti" script
contained an error. Not a fatal one, but it would
cause the Script Runner to freeze in place while
Seti@home was running. You would have had to kill
the Seti process from the terminal to get the Script
Runner back.

The solution was to edit the shell script "seti" and
put an ampersand at the end of line 3. It should
say:

setiathome -nice 20 >/dev/console &

This makes it a background process and frees the
Script Runner to function normally.
