How am I supposed to be quitting the client? I am currently using ctrl+c, but when I restart the client the progress starts again from 0%.

Thanks.

i use ctrl-c without losing progress. the "restarting" message doesn't mean restarting from 0. how are you checking the progress?

another way is to run the client in the background.

# boinc_client &

and when you want to stop it, find it's ID and kill it.

# pidof boinc_client
# kill (id you got from previous command)

One thing I've noticed in boincmgr, kboincspy, and my own scripts to grab progress information is that after stopping boinc and seti, then restarting it, initially the progress of the workunit that was running does show 0%. But within a few seconds, the progress jumps back up to where it was prior to shutting down boinc/seti. It seems it just takes boinc a little while to verify 'where it left off' and update the progress.

I am checking my progress with boincmgr. The progress percentage always restarts at 0% when I restart the client - however it does say resuming computation in the messages. Hopefully the messages are correct.

It seems to be working now - I think I didn't let it progress far enough before quitting the client. This time I let it go until around 50% and now it resumes.

Thanks for the replies.
