I switched to the BOINC client a couple days ago, and am running it as a Service under XP. It ssems to be running ok, but... Unfortunately, there is no BOINC icon displayed in the Task Bar. How can I determine the status of my model run (e.g. % complete)?

Thanks,
/Don

Use something like <a href="http://boincview.amanheis.de/">BOINCView</a>. It can also track/control multiple hosts.

Is there any documentation on BOINCView? The FAQ appears to be written for experienced users.

If we need to use add-on programs to perform such a simple task, then it appears that switching to BOINC was a step backwards from this user's perspective.

There is a new BOINC GUI in development that is a CLI controller. After this is finished, all installations will install the CLI and the GUI. It should be the case (I haven't seen it, so I don't know) that percentages and such are displayed in the GUI even if the CLI is installed as a service. I hope that it will be able to control multiple installations.
