I read from http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/quick_faq.php that you are supposed to exit Boinc before shutting down windows. I once used a script to make a backup of my files before shutting down the computer. I placed a shortcut to this script to the start menu and used it every time I wanted to power off (instead of using the normal \"turn off computer\" link).

I was wondering if a similar script could be used with Boinc? Perhaps someone who knows the command line parameters could make a script which first closes Boinc properly and then closes Windows.

See <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=2399">this thread</a>. It would seem that there was an earlier problem, but that from 4.25 onwards it is corrected.

I never knew about the problem, and always shut down normally without issue.
