I did not see that 7.0.64 was not the latest version so I will try downloading an updated version.

7.1.x are all development versions. Some features have changed, some bugs have been fixed, some new bugs have been introduced.

If you don't trust yourself or people around you to not touch RDP (old habits etc.) then 7.1 could be a good choice because at least it doesn't crash like the previous version.

If you switch to VNC or some other then 7.0.6x could be better because it is still a stable version.

Thanks Richard, I thought I remembered reading that in some thread. I guess I will have to convert them back to CPU only systems and reinstall BOINC as a service. I was just trying to eak out a few more MIPS.

What is the CLI command to stop BOINC.exe all all of its children?
When I was running BOINC as a service, I could just do "net stop boinc"

%INSTALLDIR%boinccmd --quit

%INSTALLDIR% isn't a standard environment variable, it just represents the place where the BOINC programs have been installed (which is different from the place we normally look for, the data directory). Mine can be found in the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Space Sciences Laboratory, U.C. Berkeley\BOINC Setup]
"INSTALLDIR"="D:\\BOINC\\"

More CLI commands are in http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Boinccmd_tool

Doesn't BOINC these days keep an eye on RDP sessions and if one shows up BOINC stops GPU processing?

If Mike's computers aren't used all the time with RDP they could still do some GPU work.

Thanks. yes I use this in all my .cmd files

reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Space Sciences Laboratory, U.C. Berkeley\BOINC Setup" /v INSTALLDIR >%Temp%\installed.txt
for /F "tokens=2*" %%a in ('findstr REG_SZ %Temp%\installed.txt') do set InstallDir=%%b

Thanks Richard. Will boinccmd --quit also stop everything even if BOINC is running as a service?

Yes, I've tested it and I don't think that behaviour has changed since rev 5.10.45 ;-)

Thanks. I will change all my scripts to use that method instead.
