Below is how I try to start BOINC. Am I doing something wrong? ./boinccmd --host localhost --password <passwd from gui_rpc_auth.cfg> --join_acct_mgr http://bam.boincstats.com/ <my_usrname> <my_passwd> Any ideas? ID: 41214 ·

That's the boinc or boinc.exe executable (depending on your operating system). Gruß, Gundolf Computer sind nicht alles im Leben. (Kleiner Scherz) ID: 41215 ·

Do I need to do something else before getting tasks? while looking at stdout file, I see the following next to each project Computer ID not assigned yet ID: 41216 ·
