Since I like graphical interfaces, I want to start boincmgr from my startup script. Question: Do I need to start both boincmgr and boinc? In that order? ID: 16434 · Reply Quote

The important program is Boinc: BoincManager is just a graphic interface to control it, so Boinc must be started first. HTH Arnaud ID: 16435 · Reply Quote

I have noticed when running BOINC under XP that boincmgr fails to connect about 2/3 of the time. I\'ll check that too. Regards ID: 16437 · Reply Quote
