running 2 instances in linux

Post by tomatoeboy »

whats the best way to run 2 instances of seti when in linux.

What i do at the moment is to just run 2 command line instances with the basic "./setiathome" command.

I have no idea how to assign each process to a specific processor. Is this possible/necessary?

Edit
Don't answer that! In a moment of madness I headed over to the old board where there is still an abundance of info & found my answer. Thought I'd post the answer it before it gets crunched by the 1 year time limit on the old board software. If I'm out of line gimme a slap & I'll (or hal can) delete the blighter

Just run two like in windows , no need for a -cpu option linux will do the rest

just remember where to start it from is where it will put the sah files.

example
pwd = /root
/home/user/seti/setiathome &

then the sah files will be created in /root

I script mine:

cd /home/user/seti_1/
./setiathome -verbose /grep "%" > seti1.doc &
cd /home/user/seti_2/
./setiathome -verbose /grep "%" > seti2.doc &

Well I got them running, I reinstalled Mandrake 8.1 and used KDE instead of Gnome and make the 2 folders for Seti, then I learned that simply browsing there with the console just didnt cut it unless ./ is in front...DOH... I got 2 consoles in the task bar, thats ok though, for now........
Thanks for the help dood.....

I have got 2 directorys. One called seti another seti2
all i do is go into the directory and do nohup ./setiathome -proxy (proxy address if you use one)&
then press entre twise and it should take you back to the console and you can shut the console down. do it for each copy of seti and they will run in the back ground with no need to keep the consoles open.
