I notice only now that according to the home page, SETI is now in "hiberation" mode.

Since when is it in this novel state?

Thank you Ageless.

I like to look at what is going on from time to time, therefore I use the GUI.

I can try to go just with the console, as you do, and perhaps peek at the traffic with tools like BoincView, without the GUI get into the gimmick.
But you know, old habits are hard to beat and I still like the display of the old GUI (though running latest BOINC)!

Thank you, I will give a try anyway to this route!

I sort of already tried that a bit, but I gave it another shot today after your suggestion.

At least in my systems,
boinccmd --quit
quits all clients and empties the BOINCManager windows.
But it does not quit BOINC. If I wait enough, it reconnects and also the clients restart.
So, I could do a
boinccmd --quit
and then
taskkill /im boincmgr.exe
to force kill the Manager.
But issuing a
taskkill /im boincmgr.exe
gives back a signal sent to the process. But the process (BOINC Manager) does not start. After a short while, also the clients restart.
Back to square 1...

Is it just me, or it does not work?
What am I doing wrong? :-(

Thank you for any clue. :-)

Dear all,
I have looked everywhere without luck. Therefore I hope I am not asking an already solved and known problem (apologies in this case), but be assured that I tried to make my duty of an accurate search! :-)

In brief: is there a way to quit BOINC AND the running tasks from a command line in Windows?

I have tried most of the solutions suggested specifically for BOINC (including of course boinccmd) or for a generic Windows program without luck.
I have managed to quit BOINC, but I never managed to quit the client applications at the same time (or right after/before that) without making a computing error out of it (Not what you call a gracious quit...).

Is there a simple (or not simple way) I have overlooked?

Thank you in advance!

At least now the SSP page is on again. Few minutes ago when I checked was down with the message.
Forum are still down though and, more importantly, the Master Database is down.
