I know I've seen references to files which you can place in the seti dirs

I have a machine which is running a linux-ramdisk version, and would like to
control a few actions - for example, so that I don't loose WIP when I need
to reboot...

As long as you back up the working directory before rebooting, and restore 
it exactly as is to the ramdisk before starting the client you will lose 
only the processing since the last checkpoint.  If you kill the client 
explicitly (default SIGTERM not SIGKILL) it will update those files, and 
you lose nothing.  I don't think you really gain anything by running on a 
ramdisk.  You'd be better off just running from a normal disk partition, 
then you can reboot at will (since the reboot will first try to kill 
all processes cleanly), and your progress file will be up to date.
