I'm currently using the init script for Ubuntu that was posted at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=849

BOINC starts just fine through the script. However, I can't stop it from the script any more, because BOINC isn't running as the process ID that's written to the PID file. I end up getting the message "start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill process 7512: No such process". A quick check with ps aux shows that the BOINC daemon is running as PID 7513, for example. But sometimes it could be something like 7515, so the distance between what the file says and what it actually is seems to vary.

Am I missing something somewhere? If this has been touched on or mentioned elsewhere, I apologize.

System is running Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) with BOINC 5.8.16 (command-line only) and the SETI@home SSE-optimized project from http://lunatics.at

Maybe send a PM to the script's author through the forums here?

Eric Myers also has a script linked from here. I haven't tried it yet. It's on my list of things to do.

You're welcome. If you have any feed back on it, leave it in this thread and I'll pass it along to Eric.
