I'm running BOINC (6.2.14 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) on a Linux system without any GUI capability (no X, no GTK, etc.). Is there a way that I can use the capability of the "Allow new tasks" toggle of the BOINC Manager from the command-line or by editing local config files? My goal is to allow all my current work units to be completed and reported, but not get any new ones until I'm ready.

Thanks.

Have you thought of using an account manager (bam.boincstats.com for example)?

You can do pretty much anything you can do in the manager using boinc_cmd. Or perhaps it's named boinccmd now. [...]




Sweet, boinccmd worked. I looked at that utility, but somehow missed the "nomorework" option. Thanks!
