I have set a couple machines loose crunching for seti again
My Athlon XP 2400+ w/ 256 meg ddr ram and dads PIII 866 w/ 256 megs sdram.
Guess which machine goes faster?
My athlonxp has done three units and dads box is still at 20 % on it's first.. Granted, his box is running Windows....

But it's nice to be back in the swing of things.
Now, once I write that script to install seti on all the machines at school, my numbers may top yours by phenomenal amounts

[countach44]

did you ever read that part about "don't install on machines you don't own" or something like that..
P.S.
what are they running?

Actually, I start it on tty1, I'm wondering, what would my inittab look like if I wanted it to run in place of agetty on tty6?
P.S.
I made a script that runs it from within the directory, /sbin/seti

Here is a few year old post I have here :

I am in a good mood this morning (which is to change abruptly, when I goto work)

Here is my way of automating CLI mode software. I will demo GAH and Audiogalaxy.

First we start the software up at boot time. I use a script to load it a specific way here. I tell /etc/inittab to load it and dump the output to ttys 10,11,12

# Audiogalaxy Startup
10:2345:once:/audiogalaxy/init >/dev/tty10

# Genome@Home Client software
11:2345:once:/gah/ghc1/init >/dev/tty11
12:2345:once:/gah/ghc2/init >/dev/tty12

Next we do the actual scripts.

Audioglaxy

#!/bin/sh
cd /audiogalaxy
./AGSatellite-static 64.245.58.81 21

GAH

#!/bin/sh
cd /gah/ghc1
./ghclient.x

Simple eh?
