the GUI Seti@home for 8 months with an average 28+ hours per work unit. After downloading the CLI and SetiDockling, I see my first work unit completed in 13 hours. GREAT! I like having the process info. accessible in the dock - short and easy sweet. Two questions though: Can I close my 'hidden' Terminal now? It says it will stop the process in the terminal window. Are the two linked in the background? And, what is the 'nice' setting for in the preferences?
It should be explained what people need to do to get the right path.
Tell what the NICE setting is for in preferences

I have found is that some times SetiDockling comes to the front for no reason has happened even during DVD play back!Very Annoying! It would be good if SetiDockling Control/Run Seti through sudo(root)
Towne, this is what I use to start the CLI client on the command line:
nohup ./setiathome -nice 19 -email > seti.log &
This tells it to run the client from the directory I'm in (which should be where the client is), don't quit it when I log out (nohup), email me if it wants, send any output to the seti.log file (the '>' sign), and the '&' tells the app to run in the background. Nice of 19 means that anything else can take precedence of the CPU over it, which means everything else will run fine when you use your computer, but it will take all the CPU when nothing else is running.
