Post by Hal Bregg »

Hi guys,

Would this command

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/boinc-client status
be appropriate for starting boinccmd after using command --quit

Code: Select all

sudo service boinc-client start
... is what I use
I think this is fool-proof but could you just try it for me please? • There are 10 types of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who don’t

Boinccmd is a command line tool for controlling the Boinc client once it is running. You can use it to attach/detach projects, update projects and change other settings.

To start and stop the default client, I do the same as you...

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client start
sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client stop
sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart
The status request does work but I never use it.

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client status
This is how I start an additional client with files in the /var/lib/boinc1 folder in addition to the /var/lib/boinc-client folder...

Code: Select all

cd /var/lib/boinc1
/usr/bin/boinc --allow_multiple_clients --gui_rpc_port 31421 --dir /var/lib/boinc1  > /var/lib/boinc1/stdoutdae.txt

Or for the main client:

Code: Select all

sudo service boinc-client stop
sudo service boinc-client start

Does above apply to headless installation of Ubuntu/Debian?
