Hello!

at the moment it's impossible to add/use CP with boinc-client and boincmgr.
But you can start it with:


boinc project_url project_id

Now my problem: If i start boinc like this, it will be terminated after a period.
If I want to start it again, I get an RPC bind error, because boinc-client is already running.
But I already disabled the boinc-client with:

service boinc-client stop
and
chkconfig boinc-client off

What's the best solution to start boinc program? This server is just for boinc usage. So nobody needs to login or something like that.

Thanks for help.

I went through this problem many years ago, and after reviewing several websites for how to do this, I ended-up figuring out, and then writing a how-to for what I was running back then in the past (Mandriva) - see here: http://www.joescat.com/boinc/

The steps described above should still be able to be used now, with maybe some minor modifications to suite your particular flavour of linux, and hopefully what is described helps you understand how linux multitasks different tasks (and users too) plus does interesting things like 'nice' priorities, which I find much more integrated for running BOINC compared to the Windows screensver-mode version I tried back then in the past.

...along with the info above, if you run into problems, you may also want to read the spyhill howto (links included) in parallel for comparison of notes, differences, etc in case what might apply in one may not apply in another (and visa-versa in-case you happen to be running a different distro).

Hopefully, the info above helps you get going in the right direction.

Cheers,
Joe
