Just upgraded to 5.10.21 from 5.8.16 on a slackware 11.0 laptop. Running boinc headless and using shell files to update projects. Using shell files to force a update from bam. Worked with the 5.8.16 version but am getting this error when running the shell file:

unrecognized command --acct_mgr_rpc

Here is the command line from the shell file:

/home/boinc/BOINC/boinc_cmd --host localhost --passwd xxx --acct_mgr_rpc http://bam.boincstats.com/ xxx xxx

Passwd and username xx'ed out. Typed the same command in at the command line with the same error,

Here is the version for boinc_cmd:

boinc_cmd, built from BOINC 5.10.21

Using the boincmgr all works as it should.

5.10 changed the boinc_cmd syntax.

--join_acct_mgr URL name password
Attach to an account manager (or do RPC if already attached).

See [trac]wiki:BoincCmd[/trac].

The join_acct_mgr is not there, and the Trac still has this:

--acct_mgr_rpc
Communicate with current account manager

Should I put this in as a bug?

That's a bug in the help text - I'll report it.

On "Account query and attach" section, it has the new RPCs. But the old one wasn't removed! I will clarify that on the wiki.

Actually, it was fixed two months ago, but it was never merged into the 5_10 branch. The very latest BOINC release (5.10.27) has three-month-old boinc_cmd code.
