tkseti is a nice Tk interface to the SETI@Home program. It shows current best spikes and gaussians for the user and can be used in multiple directories. It can also fetch the user's statistics from the seti@home web site. tkseti can be started if the client is already running, or it can start the client manually or automatically for you. It will look for the client files in the directory /var/db/setiathome . If you've run the client elsewhere, or run more than one client, just specify the setiathome client directory on the tkseti command line. For example: tkseti ~/setiathome Make sure the user has write access to the setiathome directory! WWW: http://norlug.org/~chipster/tkseti/
