nohup/nice the boinc command with the "&" option
"tail -f nohup.out" does it for me :)

I'm using BoincView through RPCs which are slightly broken, but still shows some information.

I start boinc at boot time from the system startup script. I rename the boinc executable so the file is just called "boinc".

the commands used are:

cd /pub/boinc
cp boinclog.log boinclog.old
./boinc > boinclog.log &

I use Xandros 2.0 file manager to browse the growing log file and see all the messages. The activity changes all have timestamps...so I know how long a given activity has been underway based on the current time, less the last time stamp.

Rough, but ready.

BOINC bash script version 1.3 works with the latest version of BOINC.
http://phileimer.9online.fr/ Just unpack, place in PATH say /usr/bin open
script and edit where you have BOINC installed. In Mandrake 10 KDE open
link to an application, select open in a terminal and select to have the terminal
stay open. When you click on the desktop link a terminal opens and the
script runs and gives you all the info you need.

I use boincctl: http://www.dennett.org/boincctl

This automatically starts BOINC on boot and I can do 'boincctl status' to check up on progress. I customized the script a bit to grep the client_state.xml file for the <fraction_done> and <current_cpu_time> tags. Not 'pretty' I suppose but it works :)

What version of wine is that? I never could get the LHC project to actually work. It would run, but the CC would think that the application crashed...

I dunno.
Knoppix 3.6 on a pentium 2 (slooooooow for boinc. Needs more meory, 160 megs isn't enough)

Browsed to a folder containing boinc_gui.exe using Konqueror.
Clicked the executable.
Configured wine by slecting 'fake windows install'.
Every time I try using a real windows install, wine screws up.

I have had issues with wine/boinc though.
I don't recommend it.

Haven't completed a work unit using it.

KBOINCspy should be good when it becomes available, hopefully soon.

Acually BoincView runs well with Wine (tested build 20030115) on my linux (SuSe 8.2).

I run boinc through NFS to my other linux systems. Directory structure like:

common
system1
system2
system3

Where each system directory is an instance of boinc for that system.

To get a status simply "grep prog */slots/*/state.sah"

You may want to write a little script to edit the output but it will look like:

system1:prog=.94567
system2:prog=.34522

system1 is at 94.5% completed
system2 is at 34.5% completed
system3 is not crunching anything no state.sah available

im using BoincTop (http://offline2k.de/boinctop.php) right now. its pretty good but i dont think it can show the status of all cached WU's or even show how many WU's are cached for that matter...anyone else using boinctop have this problem? it works well for the current wu tho.

"boinctop only works fine with boinc version 3.xx, because berkeley has
changed their client_state.xml. future versions of boinctop will be able
to get data from the boinc-client 4.xx

Keep an eye open for KBOINCspy, see previous post, when it becomes available.
