Nice!

Once you've got it setup and going in the /etc/init.d, Is there an elegant way to stop and restart the daemon? stuff that I read up on update-rc.d suggests that there should be a start and stop section in the script.

as far as i can tell, boinc has no command to stop the daemon. What you could do is, in the init script run something like 'killall boinc'.

a more detailed init file http://www.spy-hill.com/~myers/help/boinc/init.d-boinc might be able to give some guidance under the 'stop' section.

this script was written for RedHat so it might not work completely.

Very nice! I'll set it up this evening!

I've been running "rosetta @ home" for the last few days.. Seems to be running OK without hoggin' the resources.

OK, works great.. I worked up an alternate script for the mythtv user to operate... and added a "show" option to view the project setups (need to "stop" before "show".) This script will make it easier to turn on & off the BOINC processing.



I'm now running Rosetta, Einstein, and AstroPulse on the box. (The BOINC manager cycles between the active projects.)

has anyone tried to upgrade to boinc_5.8.16_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh?

predictor@home has some new work units, and requires an newer boinc client.
