| - Here are 3 files that hopefully are of help for you.
* boinc, the service script derived from the original /etc/init.d/sceleton script coming with each installation
* BOINC, the configuration file sitting in /etc/sysconfig
* boinc_installation.sh, a script that will do the work for you. Create a user boinc, a group boinc, copy and install the files and configure your system for running boinc as a service - if you want to. The place for installation is /usr/local/boinc, but you can easily change that place even after installation through simply editing /etc/sysconfig/BOINC DONE.

If you are happy with the default settings you can go right away running ./boinc_install.sh. The core client software will be installed in /usr/local/boinc/BOINC. You can start the manager like /usr/local/boinc/BOINC/run_manager. Do the following as root: chown root:root ./boinc ./BOINC Edit ./BOINC to set the right user, means the line "BOINC_USER = boinc" should be changed to the owner of your installed boinc client software. Alternatively cou can keep the line and change the owner of the client software to boinc(after adding a user named boinc) Next you make the startup script executable: chmod u=rwx ./boinc Copy the file boinc to /etc/init.d/: cp ./boinc /etc/init.d/boinc Copy BOINC to /etc/sysconfig cp ./BOINC /etc/sysconfig/BOINC Install boinc as a service: cd /etc/init.d insserv ./boinc Next time your computer is started it will automaticaly start the boinc client. DONE. If boinc is not running already, you can start the service through: /etc/init.d/boinc start /etc/init.d/boinc without a parameter will show you the possible options.
