I want to set my boinc client to not get assigned any new tasks as I'm going to be reinstalling the OS soon and don't want to get a large number of Error: Abandoned. I want to let the machine process its current lot then I can reinstall in piece of mind that it hasn't got a load of abandoned work units. but when I used the command boinccmd --project http://setiathome.berkeley.edu nomorework it returns the error

joshadmin@Huawei-HG658c-instalacion-Server-102-B:~$ boinccmd --project http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ nomorework

Operation failed: Error -1

Anyone have any idea why?

Hey Joshua,
I tried this and it worked for me:
boinccmd --project setiathome.berkeley.edu nomorework
Cheers,
Rob :-)

Nope, comes up with the same error, that is a pain, I guess I'll just reinstall the OS after backups and deal with the error assignments

I tried the command I posted on my linux laptop and it works also.

As for:
and don't want to get a large number of Error: Abandoned.
you can abort the tasks (and then do an Update on the project) and they'll just be resent to someone else by the S@h server.

It might be because it's an SSH server, I'll check on the server shell from the server itself.

Operation failed: Error -1

This means you have no permission to do this operation, possibly because you haven't set a password in gui_rpc_auth.cfg and made BOINC read it.

So try this:
boinccmd --passwd password --project setiathome.berkeley.edu nomorework

The URL doesn't need the http:// or the trailing /

If you do not supply the password in gui_rpc_auth.cfg, this file should be in the current directory, where you do all the commands from. Else you should supply the password.

By default BOINC adds a random 32 character hexadecimal password to this file. You best add your own.
Do not finish with an Enter, there should be no end of line or Return characters after the password.
