Hi!
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?
Cheers, Johannes

look into starting it with the "nohup" command in Linux, or else you could launch it as a startup script (see elsewhere for links to example Linux startup scripts). 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

There are some instructions for running BOINC under linux, including a start-up script for RedHat/Fedora at <a href="http://noether.vassar.edu/~myers/help/boinc/unix.html">http://noether.vassar.edu/~myers/help/boinc/unix.html</a>

Hi Carl,
nhup is working fine :)
Thank you and best regards to you, Myles, and the team in Oxford!

Hi!
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.
Cheers, Johannes

Personally, I prefer to run my BOINC as a cron job. That way, I don't even need to log in, but the app still runs as a local user.
