I dunno if anyone out there is participating in this but my question
isnt really related anyway.
Basically i want to run this program `setiathome` from a cron job.
Now my impression of a cron job was a program the ran every so often and
then exits, say every hour:
0 * * * * ~dek/seti/setiathome
But setiathome runs infinitely, downloading from the site and processing
the data. (read the site for details)
So how is a cron job setup to run a program and if its already running
not run it again?
