If such a thing exists, would some kind soul post a location/filename for me? If it doesn't exist as a separate document, it should. Defining all the states and relationships in the file would go a long way to making the development of a BOINC add-on less troublesome and/or error-prone. trane ID: 29900 ·

There is also a CLI interface that you might be interested in looking at. One of the problems with using the client_state.xml is that it is written frequently, and if the file is open someplace, BOINC will crash and quite possibly remove WUs in progress. ID: 30203 ·

I'll be looking at this over the next few weeks. I've pretty much decided that RPC is the way to go. I'll be away on business from 10-01 to 10-23, but after that BOINCprog could very well see a substantial rewrite. ID: 30310 ·
