I have 16 computers crunching for Boinc so can't make global changes. I just have one that needs a new hard drive and have copied the directory over to another machine but it has its own copy of Boinc and I can't run both at once. Soooo...I would like to gracefully shutdown one version of the Boinc software, it can be upgraded to whatever version it doesn't matter, and then switch back to the one already on the computer. That way I am in no rush to install a new hard drive in the machine that had one go bad. The one that is still in the machine is only a 2 gig drive and is waaaay to small for Boinc. I thought I read awhile back that one version had a finsh current units, upload them and then NOT download any new units. Thanks for any help!! mikey ID: 107909 ·

I've used it. You need to click on the 2nd or 3rd icon from the right, and tell it to stop the projects. It works best with the 4.2x versions. I am running 4.25, and Boincview 1.0.3 (they are now up to 1.0.4). It might be in 4.36, but I do not run the Developement software, so you would need someone else to answer that.

This can be found under the "Projects" and is named "No New Work". This new version has a slight bugt when it is first launched from a boot of the Pc , to get around this just exit the manager then reload. Good luck. ID: 107915 ·

The "slight bug" is not a problem because I do not shut my machines down unless I am working on them. THANKYOU ALL for your help!!! ID: 107928 ·

The older BOINC Menubar did not have this feature. ID: 108141 ·
