Hi!

I (finally) got Boinc to run on my FreeBSD 6.1 server, however one thing still bugs me. Auto-starting the client at system startup doesn't seem to work as it should.

In the /etc/rc.conf file:
[pre]boinc_enable="YES"
boinc_flags="-no_gui_rpc -return_results_immediately"[/pre]
But no CPU activity...

After I start boinc manually using [pre]/usr/local/etc/rc.d/boinc start[/pre] everything works fine, look at this snippet from "top":

[pre] PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU COMMAND
559 boinc 2 171 52 9488K 8252K RUN 5:36 98.93% einstein_S5R1
506 marc 1 96 0 6080K 3128K select 0:00 0.00% sshd
558 boinc 1 8 -111 4404K 3772K nanslp 0:00 0.00% boinc_client[/pre]

What am I doing wrong?

FreeBSD auto start boinc-client at startup problem

Get rid of "-return_results_immediately", it won't help with your problem but will help the server when you get things going.

Did that, now only using

Did that, now only using "-no_gui_rpc" (and "-redirectio" to monitor the logs).

Still have to start boinc manually though (strangely enough) but results seem to be coming in...
