Starting/stopping the seti@home process

Starting the seti@home process

The seti@home process can be started (once the correct directories are setup) by right clicking on the seti-applet and selecting the 'Start seti...' menu option. The little radar dish should change from red to green to indicate the seti client is running. Another method of starting the seti client (new for version 0.3.0) is by clicking the left mouse button on the little radar dish within the applet.

Stopping the seti@home process

Stopping the seti client is achieved by right clicking on the seti-applet (when the radar dish is green or flashing red and green) and clicking on the 'Stop seti...' menu option. The little radar dish should change from green to red to indicate the client has stopped. Another method of stopping the seti client is by clicking the left mouse button on the little radar dish within the applet.

Flashing radar dish!

If the radar dish flashes red and green when the seti process is started it indicates that: either the working directory is incorrectly set up OR the seti client is trying to contact the master server to upload or retrieve a new work unit.
