/boincrig

A multifunctional Bash script to perform operations on BOINC client

Primary LanguageShell

REQUIREMENTS

The script uses the text editor ed to edit configuration files, so you may need to install it (some distros don't have it preinstalled). 


BOINC VERSIONS

Users of version less than 7.0.54 should consider un upgrade to allow the use of --fetch_on_update option.

At the time of writing (version 7.7.0) the maximum ncpus should be 64 but it does not seem mandatory for the projects, so the limit is set higher.


LANGUAGE

All text in the script (output messages and comments) are written in italian. I don't know if I ever will translate it to english. 


WINDOWS USERS

Some adaptations has been made for execution under Cygwin on Windows. Briefly tested but seems work well.
The packages util-linux, procps, and ed are needed in addition to the base installation of Cygwin.

Due to the difference in the way Windows and Linux handle newline in text files is racommended to download the file directly from Cygwin.
You may want the package wget to download the file and the package dos4unix in case you have to deal with this problem.
