Query on using XP Pro and Seti. (latest version).

I was using Me and doing about 10-12hr turn-arounds on each WU. Then I upgraded to XP Pro and it dropped to around 8-10hrs per WU, but now for some reason it has started freaking out. It takes like 50+ hours for each WU and when I leave it on screen saver, it puts an endless number of seti icons in the taskbar tray, literally over 100 AND makes no progress.

It really is puzzling, nothing has changed in my system from the time I upgraded (upgraded seti at the same time)

Any ideas?

Getting close to 700 here and this is hacking me off.

Thanks

Have a nice day!

EDIT:: OOPS, IM already at 720, but other than that what I said above is true.

The problem is that Seti (SS - Screen saver) some times terminates and it will "autolaunch" a new process. It doesn't do anything though. I had this problem on XP when I would close SETI and the screen saver would kick-in when I had forgotten to manually run it again.

Best solution?

Switch to the commend line version

!

You will see times dramatically cut.

Actually I was looking for an explanation of the meaning of the data displayed on the screensaver in layman's terms.

From what I understand it doesn't mean anything. It's just there for looks. (and to slow down your WU crunching

)

MOO!!

Can I run the command line version on XP Pro? I thought it would only run on Linux, etc. If so, that would rock.

Thanks for the response.

Have a nice day!

Yes, go to the SETI download page and look for the Win32 command line version.

GE-Raven · « **Reply #69 on:** May 06, 2003, 07:56:26 am »

actually atjk I have a nifty little download that will auto install seti cmd line and run it as a service.

Here is what you need to do:

Download the seti.zip from http://people.dbq.edu/staff/swolfe/seti/seti.zip

Unzip contents to a temp directory

replace the file user_info.sah with the file of the same name from your current seti install. (doesn't matter what version)

Edit the seti.reg file (right click on it and select edit) so that the following line:

"Application"="c:\\program files\\seti\\idle.exe -proxy 172.16.100.137:5517"

becomes:

"Application"="c:\\program files\\seti\\idle.exe"

Then save changes.

Finally run the install.bat file.

This will do the following:

Install seti command line as a WindowsXP service (you can access it under the services menu).

Tell it to run always when the machine is on.

It will download Work Units whenever it needs them (as long as it has an internet connection)

A good program to get with this is seti queue if you are not always on the internet. If this is the case I can give you an easy setup for that.

Once all of this is done you can uninstall the screen saver version of seti.

ENJOY!!!!

You may find this link of some interest. It does take a short while to load though...

The view from the top:
http://www.setiatwork.com/cgi-bin/compare_teams.cgi?type=0&pre=10&post=125&id=14240

Results are a little buggy at the moment (as happens from time to time, especailly when trying to list a lot of teams at once), but it should give you an idea of who's who at the top of the SETI food chain...

If there is interest in this, someone might want talk to the Seti At Work guys about setting up a Taldren team page. The team I founded has one, and the team members visit there fairly regularly to see how we are doing.
