Hi. James here. I like the Idea you just gave me. Can I get the BOINC to delay start in WinXP?


"Automatic (delayed start)" is only available with vista and server 2008. It is a new capability for services along with the standard "Automatic", "Manual", and "Disabled".

I wonder if it might be worth making a new client. One for vista and later that can handle the new security changes and OS capabilities, such as the delayed start, as well as the memory & I/O priorities. The other one would be for the legacy 98/ME/2000/XP/2003 OSs

...service install...


If someone is going to address the above,
then how about also....

How does one VERIFY that the service starts and runs **BEFORE** anyone logs on (where username/password login setup)???

For example, after a power outage the machine boots up but no one logs on. Is the BOINC service running? It should be, but how to verify that?

Maybe the BOINC log will show earlier start time than when one logs on???

Correct. You can either log in and look at the logs, or use BOINC's remote access from another comp on the network to look at it.

I do have an issue with the delayed start on some of the older systems that auto log in when the comp starts up. If I have the BOINC manager to start when I log in, the service is not always running yet because other services are still loading. In this case, the manager will manually launch the BOINC process like it was installed as a single user. This is why I suggested using it with BOINC v6 for a service install is the only option and the manager can be rewritten to take that into accordance by not launching BOINC on its own.

With a service install in vista (perhaps in BOINC version 6), can it be installed as "Automatic (delayed start)" instead of "automatic"? This will hold off starting the service until all the regular services have loaded, thus reducing the impact on the system when rebooting or from turning it on. Also, you can further reduce system impact in Vista by having the BOINC apps run with "low I/O priority" and "low memory priority". This will give greater priority to tasks the system and the user are running. Lastly, is it possible to have the task auto restart if it unexpectedly stops? I see it as an option that you can manually set, but I do not know if programs can set this when they are installed.

I started to notice this issue back in the end of March, so somewhere around this some change was mad that resulted in this happening. The test put into the team description box seems to be saving correctly, for when I try to edit the field aster saving, it shows up exactly the same as I had first entered it.
