Hi,

I am running Fedory Core 4 for quite some time now and almost everything works to my satisfaction.

I was running the Seti@home client for a long time on my system and recently had to change to BOINC, since the old Seti client has been discontinued.

The new boind is running great. However, it does not get cleanly stopped, when shutting down the system or on system reboot. I am almost sure, that the links /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K50boincd and /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K50boincd (links to /etc/rc.d/init.d/boincd) do not get executed on system shutdown or reboot.

The problem with this is, that the related BOINC lockfile does not get deleted an boincd does not start at next boot due to the existing lockfile.

When I run the script /etc/rc.d/init.d/boincd with eighter the start, stop or restart options, everything is fine.

Can anybody help me with this problem?

Thanks a lot

Heinz

What's it look like in chkconfig?

chkconfig --list | grep boincd

If you want to change one or more runlevels to on / off , use something like this....

chkconfig --level 345 bioncd on

Hi homey,

Thanks for your support.

chkconfig shows the following:

boincd 0:Off 1:Off 2:Off 3:On 4:Off 5:On 6:Off

I assumed this to be correct - isn't it?

Yes, that looks ok. Maybe check on their web site for updates or bugs.

The problem is, that I am pretty shure, that the related script does not even called on shutdown and reboot.

I made a test by just applying a command like:

echo -n "This is a test" >> /var/log/messages

This message never turned up in /var/log/messages.

Anybody who can help?

Thanks

Heinz
