I just installed BOINC on my Linux box and started the application at a shell prompt. Do I have to start it this way every time or is there a way to run it as a background daemon?
Being an old UNIX sys admin, I wrote a script I installed in /etc/init.d (with a link in /etc/rc5.d) to start Boinc. Output is directed to a couple of files. Feel free to grab a copy from http://www.dennett.org/boincctl. You will have to make some changes to it. Hopefully I've commented it enough so it should be clear as long as you have some knowledge of shell scripts and the boot process.
This was originally written for my RedHat 9 system. It worked without modification when I upgraded to Fedora Core
Does it only run when started at a shell prompt?

You may want to look here for instructions running it as a daemon.
