anyone know anything about this? or is there a gremlin messing with my machine :o)<p>Thanks<p>~Brizon

I have seen this on Solaris too, but it wasn't an error of BOINC but of my start script. BOINC writes some messages to stdout and additionaly to stderr. First my start script looked like this:

boinc >boinc.out 2>&1

The I had some messages in boinc.out duplicated. Now I start the process by:

bounc >boinc.out 2>boinc.err

This way, the message aren't duplicated.

This is normal. Boinc/Seti prints 1 message to stdout and 1 message to stderr. On most linux-versions stderr and stdout are redirected to your terminal.

You can redirect stderr and/or stdout to a file (see posting from Vincent Smeets).
