Hi !

I've just finished a general script to get information about the current slots status for any BOINC project (using client_state.xml). It has been designed for use with MRTG, but I hope it is clear enough to be easily adapted.

The client_state.xml file is processed using xsltproc with a specific stylesheet to extract pertinent information.

boinc-stat.sh

#
# This script uses a processed version (see boinc-stat.xsl) of the
# client_stat.xml data file to report the current activity in one BOINC slot.
#
# Usage: boinc-stat.sh SLOT
# Example:
# $ ./boinc-stat.sh 2
# 29.381600 &2
exit 1
fi
slot=$1

mydir=`dirname $0`

function get_cpu()
{
sum="0"
for pid in `ps --no-headers -o pid -C $1`; do
if ls -l "/proc/$pid/cwd" 2>/dev/null | grep -q "slots/$slot"; then
sum="$sum + `ps --noheaders -o %cpu --pid $pid`"
fi
done

echo "scale=4; $sum" | $bc -q

}

if [ -e $boincdir/client_state.xml ]; then
out=`$xsltproc --param slot $slot $mydir/boinc-stat.xsl $boincdir/client_state.xml`
if echo $out | grep -q "master_url"; then

prog=`echo $out | sed -e "s-.*\(.*\).*-scale=4;100*\1-" | bc -q`
app=`echo $out | sed -e "s-.*\(.*\).*-\1-"`
sched_state=`echo $out|sed -e "s-.*\(.*\).*-\1-"`
cpu=`get_cpu $app`

echo $prog
echo $cpu
else
echo 0
echo 0
fi
else
echo 0
echo 0
fi

$uptime | $sed -e "s/.*up *//" -e "s/, *[0-9]\+ user.*//"
$hostname

This stylesheet is intented to extract interesting information from BOINC's
client_state.xml about one specific slot.

example:
$ xsltproc - param slot 0 boinc-stat.xsl /usr/local/boinc/client_state.xml

OK... I think I is not possible to put XML into posts.

I made the two files available here: http://shtrom.ssji.net/boinc/mrtg/
