I have it running, but now theres no way to view its progress. I would prefer it running as a service as services do not need you to log in to run them.... So is there a way to view the progress while running as a service Does boinc run stable as a service Will boinc contact servers as necessary when needed for more work, etc Thanks for help...

There are instructions available. Yes, it appears to be stable. Yes, BOINC_CLI does contact servers as needed. BOINC WIKI ID: 42365 ·

The author is still developing it, so it can change a bit from release to release, and sometimes not all features work, but it does the job. I run five systems, including servers with BOINC as a service, without problems. <b>Giskard</b> - the first telepathic robot. ID: 42408 ·

Running as App from systray or as a service? There shouldn't be any difference as long as you leave the GUI app minimized on the messages tab (default). ID: 42425 ·
