I am running Mandrake 10.1

I am able to start up a project fine but when I want to put it into the backgroung I press ctrl^z and it keeps running. It says something about a signal I sent and then it keeps running. I can\'t get back to a prompt

Yes, ofcourse it would... (;-))

If by "background running" you really mean 'low priority', then you have no worries. It already runs at minimum priority. See for yourself using the command "top".

There are many ways to run "boinc":

Interactively on the command line as you seem to be doing already. (Just leave it and open another terminal session.)

As a background task "boinc >logfile 2>errorsfile &"

And there are various scripts on the boinc forums for running boinc as a system service. (Try a search or google.)

I just use my own background user script...

Good luck,
Martin
