Slackware to PCLinuxOS 2007

[peahouse05]

Hello All
Have replaced Slackware with PCLinuxOS 2007 on two crunching PCs. Installation very fast and Boinc started easily once I moved it from Desktop to Home. However closing the Shell lost Boinc, but remembered a post by Mucks from last year (remarkably more than 10 minutes ago) - re closing Shell and rebooting Slackware without losing Boinc.
nohup./boincmgr>&/dev/null& produced [1] 3685 and [2] 3686.
nohup./boinc.&/dev/null& produced [1] Exit 127.
I am assuming this works in PCLinuxOS 2007 but would like to check before closing or rebooting again.
Thanks in advance

yup ... works for all Linux Distros.


But don't forget the spaces ...

nohup ./boinc >& /dev/null &

nohup ./boincmgr >& /dev/null &

... must be run in the BOINC folder.

If you reboot, you will need to run the first command each time ... if you just close a session, no bother.

I never did figure out, still haven't, on how to install Boinc as a service so it would auto-startup.

I am using PCLinuxOS 2007 right now, however, it still don't like my PC but is working ... may go back to OpenSuse.

Thanks Mucks
Copy and paste from your original reply way back sorted that. Slackware ran for months without crashing but I have something on Boinc starting on log-in, will use the rainy weekend down here to work on it - everything in Linux takes me that long!
