This is startup problem #2 you asked and didnt provide enough detail to. But I decided to be nice this time and looked at your rigs. I hope thats accurate

Add a script to /etc/init.d. The script should be something like (script is between the ---'s which you should not include ):

-------------------------------
#!/bin/bash


cd /home/your-user/seti/
./setiathome 2&1> /dev/null
--------------------------------

Name the file something like eccp.sh. Then create a simlink in /etc/rc?.d (where ? is the runlevel you run at). This simlink should be something like S99eccp (which is what I have it as). The S is important. Im not sure what the 99 means in mine though, but the others were numbered so I numbered this one. I am running Debian, but it should be similar for Mandake.

Let me know if you have any problems or just never reboot

yeah i added a script to my rc2.d for something else, i just used S40 or soemthing, i dont even know what the S## is for :Q

it works, but problem is, it also tried to run it when i shutdown

oh well no harm done.

:Q

LOL!

Sorry! I was over on DSLR reading about how Comcast is spying on me! :|

And thanks n0c!

BTW, know this - who boots Linux anyway????????
AND... Whenever I want to start something like that at boot (boot = power outage.. LOL), I stick it in either boot.local or rc.local, including a "&" at the end of the commandline in order to make sure it forks into the background.

Thats what Im here for. In Debian I didnt notice an rc.local or anything of the sort so I didnt have that option (and I dont feel comfy enough with SysV init to set it up) or I would have done it. The "2&1>/dev/null" should send all output to /dev/null and fork it into the background. I do it that way because of eccp. It likes to print to the screen even when its put in the background.
