Can anyone tell me if there is a cli version of boinc/seti@home 2 like on seti classic. Thanks in advance.

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php

Linux/x86 Core client only (command-line)
Mac OS X Core client only (command-line)
Solaris/SPARC Core client only (command-line)

Is this what you mean? these are all Command Line versions but not for windows, they are only for Linux/Mac and Solaris

I'm running windows xp pro and using BOINC manager v4.25 at the moment.
Where as on classic i'm using cli version, seti driver and seti spy. I'm trying to achieve faster WU's if you can help. Thanks again

Ah sorry i dont know of any CLI for windows Boinc....(un-related question - are you running classic at the same time?)

Yes i'm running 2 instants of classic but don't want to turn them off as i'm hoping to hit 5000 WU's before it's turned off. I've just installed BOINC tonight so don't know much about it yet.

In Boinc the CLI is not faster like it was in Classic.

Hello Andrew,

the (very good) manual for Boinc is the BOINC Powered Projects Documentation by Paul D. Buck and the FAQ therein.
A quick installation guide in this is here and for windows go here afterwards.

And with the 4.25 installer is the install as a service build in. Just chose this at installation. I can't tell you how, as I never tried it, but I know from several fora that it works.
But you don't have the graphics any more.
Management is possible either throug Boinc Manager or the add-on BoincView.

Add-ons are here

For questions about Boinc look in the BOINC-Wiki

You should not run Boinc and Classic at the same time, Classic will get all the computer cycles and Boinc will get almost none. Choose one and stick with it until there are outages or whatever. Me...I still have some machines crunching Classic and will till the end, but then most of them will be turned off as being to slow and not worth the trouble. Wife did give me mor moeney lately though, so I have been rebuilding some of the older ones. My slowest, besides my old dual 300mhz server, is a 1.4. I just upgrade from a 700mhz and an 800mhz. Cost under $200.00US for both.

The BOINC client is essentially a command-line client with a GUI "manager" as an add-on. Stop BOINC Manager and you stop the GUI.

Although I think there is the option during setup,
I return screensaver to none.

I then switch between run always and
run based on preferences...
...which you set up in any one of the user pages of the projects you are 'attached' to.
...each project also has its own criteria that needs adjusting.
-- like cpdn needs 1gig or something, but it is all explained on user pages.

Hi I know i said there wasnt a Boinc CLI but I was wrong! Ive just remembered when I had been playing around in the Boinc installation folder and i found a file named "boinc" and in XP it has the plain black box (Dos) icon....this is the BOINC Core Client Command Line Interface. Which will give you your CLI but before you run this I advise stopping Boinc GUI because when I ran them both at once lets say my PC wasnt happy!

I have a boinc.exe
and a boinc_cli.exe
I never uninstalled 4.19 so one of those may be for it.
Regardless, is it ok for us to run it alone? or does this mess with projects in a bad way?

In v4.2x the core client is only available as cli-version, but normally you will not run it directly but either run it as a service or "hiddenly" started by the BOINC Manager. It's named boinc.exe on windows.

If installed as service, there's no problems with running the Manager or not.
