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.

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.

Code:
#!/bin/sh

BOINCDIR=/home/mythtv/BOINC
BOINCEXE=/home/mythtv/BOINC/run_client
BOINCNAME=boinc
BOINCPARAM=--daemon
BOINCSHOW=--show_projects
USERNAME=mythtv

case "$1" in
  start)
    echo "Starting Boinc"
    $BOINCEXE $BOINCPARAM
    ;;

  stop)
    echo "Stopping Boinc"
    killall $BOINCNAME
    rm -f $BOINCDIR/lockfile
    ;;
  show)
    echo "Show Boinc Projects"
    $BOINCEXE $BOINCSHOW
    ;;

esac
exit



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.
