Ok, waaaay OT question. :)
I'm trying to make an rc file so that my thin clients will run seti at home
in the background. (Sneaky, eh?)
I can get the program to start, make a folder based on the hostname, and
start to crunch numbers -- but for some reason, the process is killed
off shortly after the thin client boots. I can't seem to keep it running.
If I go to the local shell of the thin client, the rc file loads and
runs happily. If I don't put an & after the setiathome executable, the
thin client hangs and won't continue booting... Ugh. Here's my current
script:
----
#!/bin/bash
mkdir /tmp/swapfiles/$HOSTNAME
cd /tmp/swapfiles/$HOSTNAME
cp /etc/user_info.sah .
/usr/bin/setiathome &
----
Any ideas?
