For the GUI window, I know it has a button for [no new task], but doesn't seem to have this option when run using the command line. I am thinking to to re-install a new operating system on this computer. But even if i specify ./boinc_client --fetch_minimal_work , it still downloaded 4 WU. Thanks ID: 1171634 ·

You probably want to use boinccmd to specify NNT from the site linked: --project URL operation nomorework: finish current work but don't get more; should be equivalent to hitting the NNT button in the GUI BOINC manager. NB I use the GUI so I may be utterly wrong :) ID: 1171639 ·

NB I use the GUI so I may be utterly wrong :) That is exactly what it does. You will see the familiar status of "Won't get new tasks" in the GUI after sending the command. I use it and many of the other functions from boinccmd all the time. Also the full syntax for here would be: boinccmd --project http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ nomorework SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ ID: 1171647 ·
