Hello!

Boinc is still running, when I close my MacBook Pro 13" 2017. Boinc runs till my Battery is empty.

Is there any way to stop Boinc automatically when I close my MacBook?

Thanks for your support,

Mario

I think there is an option to not run when on battery. Not in front of a computer with BOINC atm. The computer itself should be able to go to sleep when the lid is closed.

BOINC Manager->View->Advanced view->Options->Computing preferences:

Suspend when computer is on battery

(This can also be set in the web preferences on any of the projects you run)

The above requires that BOINC Manager->View->Advanced view->Activity is set to "Run based on preferences".
When set to "Run always" web preferences and local preferences are ignored.
