I mean: did Boinc replicate the works if i connect to the server ?!?! Cause we got this problems years ago with seti@home included in google toolbar... Thanks. ID: 13243 ·

Cause we got this problems years ago with seti@home included in google toolbar... SETI was never included in Google Toolbar. It was Folding@Home, which uses a system totally different from BOINC.

That people from a Terminal can make a BOINC account, install & run the program? (answer: not unless they have administrative rights) 2. That you run BOINC on the server and that people can see it running, through their terminals? (answer: not unless they have administrative rights) 3. That BOINC may slow down the server? (answer: possible, but then setup BOINC to only run outside office hours) Or something else? Please elaborate. ID: 13248 ·

Thankyou but my question was... we install Boinc on a webserver ( that is online 24h per day ) like admin with the 50% of processor usage, than we use connect to this machine via terminal for maintenance. When we will connetc via terminal like admin, will Boinc duplicate its works ?? ( in this case 50% plus 50% will be 100% ) Thankyou. ID: 13282 ·

(And if it did, it wouldn't just compute twice, it would corrupt its files horribly.) ID: 13285 ·
