Is there a list of command line arguments for Boinc? I'll be away for a Primegrid challenge, so wish to set Windows task manager to run Boinc at the challenge starting time. Specifically one that sets 'Allow tasks' to allows new tasks, as credit for completed units is given only to units dl'd and completed after the starting time. Thanks for any help, Mark :: I will not have access to a pc in which to remote |

I don't believe the boinc client has a command line option for starting/stopping work fetch for projects, but boinccmd does. You may have to setup two Scheduled tasks to accomplish what you want. First Scheduled Task would be to start the boinc client, so set it up to have the following in the Run box: "C:\Program Files\BOINC\boinc.exe" --redirectio --detach_console Second Scheduled Task is to use boinccmd to allow more work and should have the following in the Run box: "C:\Program Files\BOINC\boinccmd.exe" --project www.primegrid.com allowmorework Also make sure the Start in box has "C:\Program Files\BOINC" All of the above assumes the client and boinccmd tool were installed into the Program Files\BOINC folder. If installed somewhere else, then change accordingly. |
