Is there a command line client for BOINC like I use for my setiathome crunching? |

This is installing it as a service. Last I heard, this didn't work real well... All you need to do to run the cli is to open a cmd window, change to the boinc directory, and run boinc_cli (I use the -return_results_immediately parameter so that results get reported to the scheduler right away, and don't end up sitting in the "ready to Report" state until the next WU is done) |

I would like to know what switches/flags are valid for the CLI? (as there does not appear to be a readme file or similar that documents these as with seti classic) I would like to load at start up and run in the background on a windows box |

I would like to know what switches/flags are valid for the CLI? The following comes from the boinc.exe itself: C:\\Program Files\\BOINC>boinc -help Usage: boinc [options] -help show options -version show version info -exit_when_idle Get/process/report work, then exit -show_projects show attached projects -return_results_immediately contact server when have results -detach_project detach from a project -reset_project reset (clear) a project -attach_project attach to a project -update_prefs contact a project to update preferences -run_cpu_benchmarks run the CPU benchmarks -check_all_logins for idle detection, check remote logins too -allow_remote_gui_rpc allow remote GUI RPC connections -redirectio redirect stdout and stderr to log files -dir use given dir as BOINC home C:\\Program Files\\BOINC> |

Hi, Jim provided me with some help at [url=http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=15004#115446 ]http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=15004#115446[/url] In short you can run BOINC via the BOINC Mgr, or as a CLI or as a Service. I have been using the CLI verison via Boinc.exe for a couple of days now and use the command line options -return_results_immediately and -redirectio. This is ideal for me as I want to get the results returned as soon as possible. You can create a shortcut to Boinc.exe and add these command line options, or you can use a simple VB Script. I wrote this little piece of VB Script so that the boinc.exe window is totally hidden. I monitor progress using BoincLogX and fire up BoincMgr or BoincView occasionally to have a look at progress. The key is that boinc.exe keeps on running in the background to schedule the seti@home and any other project clients. If you wish to run the CLI and totally hide the boinc window then simply save this as a vbs file e.g. call it boinchide.vbs. If you have any security program that stops VBS from running you will have to authorize the script. ' run boinc scheduler hidden const boinccmd = """c:\\program files\\boincboinc.exe """ const boincopts = " -return_results_immediately -redirectio" Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") rc = oShell.Run(boinccmd & boincopts, 0, False) |

Additionally, with version 4.44 and up, there's a commandline version of the boinc manager of sorts, a commandline tool to send commands to the running core client. Rob |
