1) Message boards : Questions and problems : How to script startup of Boin Manager on Linux Mint?
Message 113208
Posted 1 Dec 2023 by Michael Blucher
Hi

I have a PI Cluster with 10 nodes. The cluster is used to process BOINC data for various projects.
I have a problem that when the power glitches, as it does, I have to reset my Boinc Manager windows manually.

Is it possible to fire up Boinc Manager across the whole cluster, from the controller using scripting?

I assume that if it is possible, I'd be using SSH to do so.

That way I could just run a script rather than starting things manually.

Cheers

Anyone know what happened to Universe at Home: https://universeathome.pl/universe/home.php
The project site appears to be unreachable.

Well German or otherwise, I'm more than happy to help them with a bit of data processing.

I just wish I could ensure that they sync with my other projects and that the correct cpid gets set.

Cheers

Thank you for the quick reply.
I am unable to find that setting on yoyo@home

Is it possible the site does not have one?

Or does yoyo@home automatically synchronise?

Hi
One of the projects I'm attached to (yoyo@home) has the has the wrong CPID.

Does anyone know how to correct it?

It is not editable through their website and all the touch points appear to be in German
which makes it difficult to contact them. I don't read or speak German.

Hi

So having a mismatched version of boinscr should not matter?

In that case, the problem becomes "screensaver loading" and that is as far as it gets.

Hi

I believe I have a mismatched version of BOINC.
The screen saver appears to be an older version from 2014.
I'm running Knoppix Linux which is a variant of Debian.
The version of Boinc I'm running is version (7.6.33+dfsg-12),
which my OS tells me is the latest version.

Is it possible to get the correct version of boincscr?

Regards

Michael B.
