Hi,

I'm trying to run BOINC from the CLI but all I get is "can't connect to localhost". 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?

You'll have to start the BOINC client (localhost) first. That's the boinc or boinc.exe executable (depending on your operating system).

Thanks, that worked

However, after attaching to BAM! I do not get any tasks for crunching. Do I need to do something else before getting tasks?

while looking at stdout file, I see the following next to each project
