Best solution... stop running setiathome... it's a waste of battery
power
Possible solution... run a process that keeps the cpu occupied with
doing nothing... and give that a low, but higher then seti, priority...
Or: Suspend the seti process every 10 seconds... turning it on 15
seconds later... (shellscript should be possible)
