Seti Queue on Linux???

[Mads Kirkelund]

Hi

Is there a program "out there" that has the same features as Seti Queue, but
runs under Linux or Unix???

Thanks

Did not work 'out-of-the-box' for me, but after a few modifications it's working
perfectly now.

that link tells me that Seti Queue does not run under linux, thats why I'm
looking for an other program!!!

That's why we want people to try it under a Windows emulator under Linux
so we can make whatever changes are required to make it run under Linux...

oke i have the same problem. and the answer is setiproxy a java programm.
that can cache up to 200 wu's. search --> www.google.com --> setiproxy -->
download

i us that and it runs very fine.

you have problems to install ask me.

Having a real unix port of SetiQueue would be really usefull. Many
servers are running unix (linux, bsd) and could easly run a native
unix-port. Running Wine will often be difficult, most servers don't have
a monitor, let alone a mouse. Maybe if you release the source of
SetiQueue someone else can port it to unix, your site states you haven't
got the time for it.

b.t.w, I'm using jSetiDoor, so far it works pretty well (taking in
consideration it is a java program). SetiProxy (also in java) could look
a bit better (has a better gui) but I couldn't get it to work.

[Peter Sjöström]

It's Ken Reneris that writes SetiQueue. He has stated if there would be
a port, it would have to use the same common code base. Since he hasn't
got the time or knowledge, there won't be a Linux version. Many have
offered to port it, but he doesn't want to split it to two projects. So
if you don't want to try this, you must search for other software.

If he wrote it in a nice language (ie: Java) couldn't we just take the
source and recompile it under a *nix? I'd kinda like to run SQ on Linux
myself... for a freeware project like this, why keep the source closed?

BTW, you don't need a mouse or monitor to utilize WINE in Linux. Just use
VNC.

Do you have Java? jSetiDoor is written using Java so will run under Linux if
you have a Java runtime. I also run SETI@support, a java skymap and logging
utility. I run both of these under OS/2.

If you go to the Links, Add-ons, and Related Webpages
(http://www.setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/links.html) on the Seti site you will
see them under Other Add-ons. There are quite a few Linux utilities there as
well though and it may be worth looking at them.

I also tried SetiProxy and although I did get it to work it wasn't very
reliable and I had to keep stopping it and restarting. jSetiDoor has proven
to be extremely reliable and the html interface to monitor stats is nice.

Mads,

Try http://ksetispy.sourceforge.net

Its SetiSpy with cache management.

I agree, it works pretty well. However it does uses a lot of memory and
I can't find the source. A pitty cause there are a few things I like to
modify (like logging the connecting user for example). When I have some
time left I will email the auther and ask for the source, he didn't
changed anything since last year so the project could be dead.

btw, how does jSetiDoor perform when having many (+-100) users?

He didn't and isn't.

It's his pet, he does it for free, it's his hobby. If you don't like it,
don't use it.

He will be happy to modify his Windows project so it runs flawlessly
under whatever Linux emulators etc it takes. E-mail s...@setiqueue.org.

I'll also email the developer seperately, but this might make his work a
little easier:

Setiqueue works fine in a VMWare Win98 virtual machine on Linux.

Haven't noticed a problem. I've got 256meg ram and 49meg spare, nothing in
the swapfile, 50meg of 386HPFS disk cache, SETI@support and two seti clients
running. I'll have to look into memory usage for individual apps. My usual
memory monitor doesn't think I have any application running so I presume it
doesn't like the current kernel :-)

>btw, how does jSetiDoor perform when having many (+-100) users?

No idea on this one either, I have five clients and cache 7 spare wu's
normally. I'm a bit unsure about upping it since rumour has it that I'm only
contributing to the science if my wu's are returned within 2 days. I'm more
into contributing to the science than getting high wu returned stats.

I remember having seen jsetidoor taking 10Mb of ram but I just checked
and now it only takes 5Mb. Only a few hours ago I restarted jsetidoor so
that could explain the lower memory use. I'll check in a few days what
the memory usage is. I find 10Mb ram for a simple daemon like jsetidoor
quite alot, maybe it has to do with the 30 threads it started (according
to 'ps -aux') (linux 2.4).

The FAQ at S@H (http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/faq.html#q1.17) says
they always send out same wu's to multiple hosts. After they received
the first two results they start processing those two. I gues that
Berkeley have to wait a bit longer before processing results if
everybody starts using queue's.

I just started using jSetiDoor after reading this thread. I am
running Redhat Linux 7.1 and am curious what people are doing to
automate the running of jSetiDoor? I am currently running it via the
command line but I would like to automate it if possible. Would a
crontab work? I am not that experienced with crontab and don't want
multiple instances running at once taking up resources. Just looking
for ideas.
