I am running boinc and climaterprediction.net on a Linux PC (Fedora Core 2). As soon as I logout the process stops. How can I tell it to continue calculating even when I am not logged in?

For "nohup" it's as simple as: cd boinc (wherever your main boinc dir is) nohup ./boinc_4.09_i686-pc-linux-gnu then when you logout the "nohup" keeps boinc_ running, then you can just login and go to boinc/projects/climateprediction.net and run ./viz there to see where you are ID: 4452 · Reply Quote

Thank you, I went for the nohup for a start. If I discover that the machine needs to be rebooted too often, I will change to the startup script suggested by you.
