Hello,

I upgraded recently to BOINC 4.25 on an WinXP system.

When I shut down the computer, I usually "Suspend" and the "Exit". BOINC is started automatically after reboot.

While BOINC 4.19 would always come up as "Run based on preferences", BOINC 4.25 remembers the last state, which of course is "Suspend". I have to change it manually every time.

This is annoying because I run BOINC on a remote controlled computer which I just reboot after servicing it. Now I have to log in again just to have BOINC resume the calculations.

Is there a switch (like the "-min" to run minimzed) that tells BOINC 4.25 to run automatically after it starts?

Thanks!

Friedrich

Why do you suspend and exit before shutting down? Shutting down will close the app fine. I never suspend and exit.

On the contrary. I find the fact that BOINC does not record the client state at shut down a serious bug. I was having to de-install BOINC and then reinstall it if I wanted a system to come up with BOINC not running.

Some people were having problems with CPDN getting corrupted files without suspending and exiting before. However, 4.25 is doing things differently, and there is a lag after exiting the app as CPDN shuts down cleanly. So now I just exit before rebooting and everything is fine.

Precisely, like loosing a WU. Especially if the drive was fragmented.

That sounds almost too good to be true.

Thanks for the information!
