Better read carefully for yourself, Mega ...

You only offered to send it, but Charles didn't reply before I posted.

Even now you are the only one that confirmed your mail. Charles did not mention it.

So how in the world could I have known it ???

Plus: I gave an idea how to set up such a batch under other OS ...

[MegaManX4]

Sorry Maggi,

YOU ARE ABSOLUTLY RIGHT!!!!

I'm so sorry...ts...can't imagine how to make such a mistake...oh god oh god....oh man...i hope he is not disappointed...I should stop with sniffing those shit

Who's shit, MMx4?

Why not pick up a nice tube of glue?

Just to be perfectly clear... MegaManX4 sent me the batch files via e-mail. I looked over them, tweaked to my particular setup, and have gotten things running.

Thanks MegaManX4 for helping me out. Thanks Maggi for sharing the idea initially and for posting it again so that all may benefit from it!

Hi dudes,

sorry for ranting above ... I had a pretty hard day and probably overreacted a bit.

But besides that it was nice to let off some steam, so thanx for giving me that opportunity, Mega ...

Bedtime for me now, CYas !

ARGHHHHH!!!
I've been using the SETICache program(linked from SETI homepage). Everytime I'm trying to Send and Refill, and the dataserver times out, it will delete one of the reult_header.sah files. During the past 24 hours, while the server was down, I've lost 3 finished WUs. Solution anyone?
Oh well, think I'll give Maggi's batches a try.

JMS,

That's exactly what happened when I used one of them cache-thingies: it started trashing my WUs whenever the SETI-server was down.

Not a real selling point for a cache program, is it ? It worked (but was useless) if the server was up, it ate my WUs when the server was down (and I would have needed it).

Oh dear ,that's not good!
Our one has never done that as far as I know

Maybe you should try a different one?

[jms]

Wrote some batch files using some of Maggi's code. They work much better than the SetiCache program, which was a pile of crap IMO. A shame that it's linked from the SETI homepage...

I'm also running with batch files, had to dig out my old DOS bible but it was worth it.

jsb or anyone who uses SetiCache:

Do you use Trayer to hide the seti/seticache window?

I am trying to install Trayer and the damn thing keep telling me "specified temp directory is no found". What target file and directory should I point it to?

Thanks for help!
