At one time i had [EMAIL PROTECTED] running on the LTSP clients. I had NFS swap
enabled, so the machines already had some writeable storage. Within the
NFS swap area, i created a directory for each system. So the path (from
the client's perspective) was something like /tmp/swapfiles/ws001
(where ws001 is the client hostname). Then put the [EMAIL PROTECTED] binary in
the directory (use links or symlinks to save space when you copy the
binary to each client's directory) and use a script like this to run
it:
#!/bin/sh
cd /tmp/swapfiles/${HOSTNAME}
while true ; do
./setiathome -nice 19 > /dev/null &
sleep 3600
done
Save the script as /tmp/swapfiles/seti. Then in your lts.conf add
something like "SETI = Y" and in rc.local add some stuff like so:
SETI=`get_cfg SETI N`
if [ "${SETI}" = "Y" ]; then
# A few extra lines of script should probably be added here to
# make sure NFS_SWAP is enabled.
echo "Starting [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
/tmp/swapfiles/seti &
fi
Please note, this is from memory and thus hasn't been tested. I *think*
it'll work. You should be able to use similar concepts to get other
@Home projects working.
