Tk-SETI@Home - Copyright (C) 1999-2000 by Rick Macdonald . TkSETI is a GUI front-end to the SETI@Home client for UNIX. It is fully customizable with lots of cool features: o can passively monitor an already running setiathome client. o can start/stop/pause the setiathome client when TkSETI starts/exits. o can manually run/kill/pause/continue the setiathome client. o can automatically stop the client during certain hours on certain days. o can run your dialup network start/stop scripts when the client needs to contact the server (even avoiding certain days and times). o restarts the client if it dies unexpectedly. o Linux only: can automatically run/kill/pause/continue the setiathome client based on system idleness by monitoring any devices such as keyboard, mouse, etc. o support for proxy servers. o tracks your personal best scores for big Spikes, Gaussians, Pulses and Triplets and optionally notifies you when new bigger ones are found. o displays your statistics such as work units processed, total CPU time, progress of current work unit, largest Spike, Gaussian, Pulse and Triplet, client CPU usage, etc. o SkyMap shows the location of all work units processed plus the location of your best Spike, Gaussian, Pulse and Triplet. o fully configurable to run on any UNIX platform. o lets you check the work statistics of your friends to see who is ahead. o optionally notifies you when a new version of TkSETI is available. o on-line help file. TkSETI requires Tcl/Tk version 8.0 or newer. INSTALLATION ============ Just untar and put tkseti someplace in your path.
