Seti Daemon is a little piece of software which allows to use a Seti@HOME client on those machines that have many users who can log in. When nobody is logged in, this daemon will launch the Seti client, closing it when someone log in.

Here we are, finally, with 0.9.1. Test it, and send feedback for bug corrections!
I'm working now to version 0.9.1. New features: - Close and reopen Seti@HOME client instead of suspending and resuming it (command line option -k) - Your client is waiting for an internet connection? You won't need to close and reopen the daemon: just use -R <dir> option!
Setidaemon has been tested into a i686 machine at University of Verona (Italy), with normal user permission. I think the administrator uses something that sends SIGHUP to all process that fork() to run in background, so both setidaemon and Seti@HOME where closed as launched. I tried to add a signal handler to ignore SIGHUP, but still the daemon seemed to have some troubles. It has been launched four times, and twice it launched Seti@HOME ignoring interrupts from mouse and keyboard. Then I had no more time to stay there and check it out more, so I'll do it as soon as possible.
