When hitting Ctrl+Z on the vc/xterm that runs boinc, it suspends (rightly so). But how do I start it again? Afaic, there is no key defined to send a SIGCONT, I have to do it from another vc, but that's not that nice.

Try fg

That brings the suspended job back to the foreground. If you have more than one suspended job it may not bring back the one you want

Type "jobs" without the quotes to see a list of jobs. They are usually numbered beginning with 1. Then use fg %X where X is the number of the job you wish to bring back to the forground.

Likewise you can use bg (for background) to start a suspended job back up and put it in the background. You get the shell prompt back and the job runs. However, any output will come to the terminal window and mess up other stuff you are doing.
