Need some SETI help...

[amdxborg]

I know there's a program you use with SETI when running it on a laptop that shuts down SETI when the laptop goes onto battery. Anyone know where I can find it plz?

Thanx! 😀

There's a bunch here http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/links_addons.html but I didn't see the one you are looking for.

Can't you accomplish this by starting SETI as a scheduled task? Set it to start on bootup and set it to stop when battery mode begins. I don't know if it will restart it once you're off batteries though.

I don't know about other OS'es, but there's an advanced option that will stop the tasks when battery mode begins in XP.

I haven't really tested this, I just know it the battery option is there.

AFAIK BOINC have this option atleast, no idea if "classic" have something similar...

Doesn't SETIHide have this option?

Are you sure that the battery shutdown program is for the classic one ... I think that the feature is built into the bonic version ...

Anyone think of searching this forum archives for information? :roll: 😉

This: SETIBUFFER

Was found mentioned in this thread of a similar inquiry:
Laptop & SETI

Although looking at the SETIBUFFER options, I didn't see anything that you specifically check to pause while on battery. I also didn't see anything specifcally in SETIHIDE that you set to pause while on battery.

But this could help too:

If you're running XP, there's an option in Task Scheduler tasks to do that. So just create a task that starts SETI at startup, and stops it if battery power starts.

Setibuffer defaults to pausing when the laptop switches to battery, there's no option to change it though.
