Well, SETIQueue is working fine, but as I found out tonight you're kind of stuffed if that machine falls over.  Seems to shame to lose that work time.
Is there a buffering program that will work with SETIQueue, please?  I'd like to think that my high-turnover machines had a few units in hand  to last them until the next morning.

Look up SetiDriver.

There's a few others also. You can still have SetiQueue as your proxy and have a few WUs in hand on the local machine.

Also note that you can have another copy of SetiQueue on your local machine instead. SetiQueue is very intelligent about talking to another SetiQueue as proxy. (eg: s@h Berkeley -> SetiQueue server (192.168.x.y) -> SetiQueue local (127.0.0.1) -> s@h client on local (127.0.0.1) )

Take care to not have your queues too large...

Happy crunchin'
