getting setiathome to load on start up

[Stephen]

I have been trying to get setiathome to load on start up but cant seem to find which file to edit to get it to load on boot. Ive tried /etc/init.d/bootmisc and it loads there but goes no farther than the setiathome start up and I usually have to press control c to finish up
the boot and regretfully kill setiathome. what Im basically trying to do is get so I dont have to load it everytime i reboot. Any one know where to enter the line to get to do so.

Open a console window (clam shell icon on taskbar) and use crontab -e to open your crontab for additions. Put a line like this in the file:

*/15 * * * * cd /path/to/setiathome; ./setiathome -nice 19 > /dev/null 2> /dev/null

This would attempt to start the seti client every 15 minutes after you login to your desktop or console if it is already running then the command is ignored. To edit the file use the INSERT KEY and

Edit: The line above should be on one line it is ok if it wraps to the next line when editing but there should be no enter key used to have another line in the file. And while I'm at it I should tell you how to edit the file use the INSERT key to enter edit mode then either cut'n'paste the line above and modify to your location or type it in when done hit the ESC key to exit edit mode then the SHIFT and ; keys at the same time to enter command mode then type wq and enter to write and quit the file and it will now be used to start the client new time the crontab is checked for commands to run.
