I want to be able to run the commandline, the whole of the time that the machine is idle, it currently runs the screenserver, but that is a very slow way of processing the blocks, even a blank screen, with the commandline hidden would be better.

Leaving the client running constantis a no no, as it is used as a gaming machine, and I can't spare the proc power when its in use.

Can anyone help??

i keep the commandline running nonstop on my gaming rig.

never noticed any slow down, even when playing online games.

but enough about me, does anyone have anything useful to post here? cuz i'd like to have a commandline screensaver too.

I not on purpose played a car racing game once when the cmdline version was running and it didn't seem to affect the game speed.
I usually never do that, and right now i'm in the middle of a championship and am having a hard enough time trying to keep the car on the track, i certainly don't need something to screw up when i'm doing a race.

I'm gonna see if task scheduler will start it up, i'll let ya know, other than that i don't know of any way to start it as a screen saver.

Maybe one of smart programmer types on the team could write a little prog we can use to trick windows into thinking it is a screensaver .

_Running_ it as a screensaver is no prob...
Move it into Windows-Dir and rename from .exe to .scr . Then just choose it as screensaver (yes, sometimes it's sick how stupid Win is! ). BUT: I don't think it would end when a screensaver should end cause that's not implemented in Seti...

Well, I tried to run it by copy and rename, but it keeps trying to pass command switches, does anyone know of any other way to get it to work?

On the Amiga i had a utility that would allow to set the priority of the task involved.

normal tasks would allways have a priority of 0, system related function 20 orso.

When u have a task that u only want to run but not take up time when ure doing different things (like using it to play games) u could set it to -1. It would allways run until something more pressing is done with the machine. (allowed me to use my computer while rendering Imagine scene's).
