I don't have KDE installed on the computer.  Running just command line.

Something like that if it's possible.

You could try:

cd "whatever you dir is for setiathome"
nohup ./setiathome >setiathome.log 2>&1 &

This sends all text messages to "setiathome.log" and the final "&" runs 
the job as a background task.

You can look at the text output file with "more" or "less" or "tail" or 
others. With linux you get lots of choice.

I monitor the output with "tail -f setiathome.log".

Use "man tail" for further details.


The first time you run it, you'll need the attach option. There's also 
utilities to monitor the state file and progress.

Good luck,
Martin

Thank you so much.  That's what I was looking for.
