Well, this thread is really moving slowly. Especially when compared to the typical "last one to post wins"-threads. ;-)

Boinc_cmd can't suspend/resume projects
(Message 2458)
Posted 9 Jan 2006 by Hermes
Post:
Had the same problem and found a way for Linux based machines.
My machine does work for Seti@Home and the "setiathome_4.02_i686-pc-linux-gnu" process that does the work honours the SIGSTOP and SIGCONT signals. Don't know if that goes for other projects, though.
These signals are processed by the Linux kernel; there is no way for any application to ignore them.
So "kill -s SIGSTOP <proc no>" and "kill -s SIGCONT <proc no>" works as expected; is suspends and resumes the computations.
But it does not start the computation for another project, while the applikation for one project is suspended.

File descriptor leaks in V5.2.6 under Linux

Boinc 5.2.13 still passes the network connections on to the applications:

An idea: what if this network connection passing is because of displaying of graphics? I've built my own BOINC CC (also 5.2.13) without graphics and I don't see any network connection open by scientiffic applications, only by BOINC CC itself.
I don't have any graphical display on that machine.
Pleas note that there is only one open internet connection. netstat -p says the socket is connected tho the boinc CC. But lsof displays all processes, that have access to the connection. All applikation get a copy of the file descriptors open at the time of start and could send or receive messages. And they could accept new incoming connections.

This bug has been fixed in build 5.2.7
Thanks for the info.
Not quite yet. The temporary file are gone, but the applications still have file descriptors of the network connections open:
