I switched a dual p3 system from windows xp to red hat linux 9 and

my first venture into linux and something is wrong I would suspect...

I stuck this into /etc/rc.d/rc3.d and named it S99local
is the following script doing what it is supposed to do?

#!/bin/sh

touch /var/lock/subsys/local
cd seti
cd seti1
rm -f lock.sah
rm -f key.sah
rm -f pid.sah
./setiathome -proxy 129.162.160.145:5512 -nice 17 &
cd ..
cd seti2
rm -f lock.sah
rm -f key.sah
rm -f pid.sah

Beemer Biker,

The rm key.sah commands will make the current unit start from the
begining again. S@H will think the files have been tampered with.
