Posted 5 Sep 2008 by Forest_ 		Yeha, do what Ageless said, it solve this problem.

To reply to Nicolas...in the .16 version,
shutting down the BOINC manager stopped everything. There
was no daemon.
2) Message boards : Questions and problems : Problem with BOINC 6.2.18

Posted 4 Sep 2008 by Forest_ 		Yhea, I know how to do it all, but going to the first step:

" BOINC Manager->Advanced view->Advanced->Shut down connected client->OK->Cancel followed by BOINC Manager->File->Exit."

it shut down the boinc deamon and remove my rosetta and world community grid
programs from the memory too, that's all I wanted. Re-Running the BOINC manager start
back the daemon. So only the first step is important and needed.

Thank you for the reply, it fixed my worries.

This is the Windows way of doing things, most of it will work the same on Linux/the Mac. I assume you will know how to do it.
To stop BOINC 6.x when running as a service
Ways to stop BOINC 6.2.x when running as a service:

1) BOINC Manager->Advanced view->Advanced->Shut down connected client->OK->Cancel followed by BOINC Manager->File->Exit.

2) BOINC Manager->File->Exit followed by Windows Start button->Run, type net stop boinc, click OK.

3) BOINC Manager->File->Exit followed by Windows Start button->Run, type services.msc, click OK. Find BOINC in the Services applet. Right click on it, choose Stop from the drop-down menu.

To start BOINC and the service again, just go Start->Programs->BOINC->BOINC Manager link.

Posted 4 Sep 2008 by Forest_ 		Humm. the new .18 version now run as a deamon.
the problem is when I close the BOINC manager, the tasks continue to run due to the deamon. I have to suspend them before and then close BOINC manager. But they stay in memory :(

In the version .16 , closing BOINC stopped everything.
