Setting up two boinc managers on 1 pc?

Fellas,

I have a GTX 680, 560 TI and 520.

I want to run the gtx 680 and 560 with 3 WUs per GPU, and the 520 with 2 Wus/GPU.

I was thinking the way to do this would be have two clients running, with the appropriate info in each of cc_config files and app_info files so that client 1 runs 2 wus on the 680 and 560 and client 1 runs 2 wus per 520.

But the problem is that even when I put boinc in two different directories (Both the programdata and the program file)...the boincmgr.exe pulls up the same client each time! Can I not monitor two boinc processes from 2 boinc mngrs?

In other words I can't get two managers to run at the same time, although at one point I was able to get two boinc.exe running...i had no way to monitor them outside of the cmdline...but haven't been able to repeat that since reinstallng.

What am I doing wrong?

WIndoys 7 64bit, tried using version 6.12, 7.0 and a combination of both. all three scenariors produce same results..i.e. can run and monitor two clients at same time.

sorry for typos. help would be much appreciated.

maybe instead of trying to figure out what i did wrong, someone can just explain how to run and monitor two boinc clients/managers from 1 pc....or even a better way to get 3wus on 1 gpu and 2 wus on another.

You can edit your posts within an hour starting from creation time. ;-)

As for your problem, I'm not sure, because I didn't ever try it myself, but I think with windows you'll have to delete the registry entries for the data directory to get the clients to pick different ones. And you'll have to start one with a different gui_rpc_port (the default one is "Pi" (31416)).

And the BOINC manager should have a corresponding command line option, though I couldn't find one in the help display (boincmgr --help).
