Its version 7.4.23 as you suspected.

I've discovered that the application running has locked the file system. I don't know how the application was able to be installed and run prior to a re-boot but we are where we are. I can add an external (USB) drive - is there a way to get the application to use an external (FAT32) disk for storage/cache or whatever - its 4GB s0 should be sufficient room?

Thanks MarkJ - I am now away until next Sunday and will revert with an update then. I'm pretty certain that the same boinc client is on each of my machines and will report all versions at that time.
Best regards,
Ian

The core application on this device runs under Jessie - it was a pre-built binary and the current versions (including beta versions) all run on Jessie.

Yes, running the command from the directory results in the same issues - also the command does work because I can get the --help output.

The version of boinc-client that I am using is the latest version as far as I am aware.

Yes, and it responds: Starting boinc-client (via systemctl): boinc-client.service.
Then when I type: boinccmd --get_host_info
I get: can't connect to localhost.

I don't see the daemon running either:-(

Sorry, but what is the more recent post that I should refer to?

I have a Raspberry pi Zero (raspbian jessie) running boinc-client - ran after install but did not survive a reboot - now all boinc-client commands result in the "Can't connect to localhost" response, which is not helpful. It is clear that no client is running either.

There is spare CPU time on this machine which is otherwise running a ham-radio digital access point but I cannot, it seems, give it away!

Any help appreciated.

Ian

PS - I have run this linux client on another raspberry pi Zero and a raspberry pi 3, both running simh as their main activity and no trouble has been encountered following restarts.
