3) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Repost: Storing BOINC files somewhere other than ~/ (Message 50383) Posted 1 Dec 2004 by Jean-Pierre Godet Post: Hello, friend ! I don't understand why, as here, but with another OS, I runned first BOINC as root in /boinc directory, and all the stuff was lying in this directory. Then I tried to use it in an other directory (/home/godetj/ files/BOINC) as a "normal" user (not the "super user" root)and all the files and subdirectories are now in this directory. Now BOINC is running as a background task in a special virtual console for it (VT7) and the owner of the files and subdirectories generated by BOINC and SETI client are now root, but are still remainning in this directory. This is on a Linux machine (Slackware 10.0 with kernel 2.4.26). May be your MacOS doesn't permit to a "normal" user to put files in /usr ? and force BOINC to use the home directory of the user owning and running BOINC... Jean-Pierre

4) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Make app run in background? (Message 40929) Posted 28 Oct 2004 by Jean-Pierre Godet Post: The way I use to run BOINC as a background task on a Linux machine automatically at startup : 1) a small shell script is used to prepare running the programm as a background task ; 2) The /etc/inittab file is modified by adding a line which is calling the shell script at startup and is creating a new virtual console that displays SETI@home working. An exemple : here, boinc (boinc_4.09_i686-pc-linux-gnu) is located in the /home/godetj/files/SETI directory. In the same directory is located the small shell script "startboinc". Content of the startboinc executable file : ------------------------------------------------------------------ #!/bin/sh cd /home/godetj/files/SETI rm -f ./lockfile exec ./boinc_4.09_i686-pc-linux-gnu < $1 > $1 2>&1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ and a 7th virtual concole is added to the /etc/inittab like that : Part of the inittab file showing the new line added : ------------------------------------------------------------------ # These are the standard console login getties in multiuser mode: c1:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux c2:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux c3:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux c4:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux c5:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux c7:12345:respawn:/home/godetj/files/SETI/startboinc /dev/tty7 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Best regards ! -- Jean-Pierre - Powered by Linux (Slackware 10.0 - kernel 2.4.26)
