I want to remove the client from this machine and install it on another. I don't want to lose any work. So if I understand correctly I just click on the no new tasks button. Then when everything is complete just remove the client.

Question, the tasks still show up in the task window with a status of complete. The messages tab shows it uploaded a file.
So if I remove the client I don't lose anything, Its already done right? Even though it is still in the task window with a status of complete.

OK never mind, I found it.
Just FYI....
It is complete and it uploaded the data, BUT...
You must click the update button to get credit reported.

Then is disappears from the task tab page....

Wish there was an option to say "report all work upon client exit" Think many part time crunchers would be happy with that too... particular those that move around with a laptop.

hmmm, but maybe there is already an "expert" way of doing this with boinccmd maybe or some argument code for boinc.exe **, but then it optimally should be "set forget noob" level IMMHO ;-)

** Did not see anything applicable in this FAQ: http://boincfaq.mundayweb.com/index.php?view=502 (pretty much the only place where the boinc.exe args are listed out that I can find.)

There's a lot of relevant stuff in Client configuration.

Option: <report_results_immediately>
Command line: --exit_when_idle

Not quite noob level, but for the purpose of the OP, the --exit_when_idle command-line option would work:

Exit when there are no more tasks, and report completed tasks immediately.
New in 6.1

Since 6.11, there's also a <exit_when_idle> option for the cc_config.xml file.
