setiathome -stop_after_xfer
setiathome -stop_after_process

I had made a script that did this:
infinite loop
dialed-in
check for valid connect, if not, retry

transfer seti unit, get new unit and quit
(setiathome -stop_after_xfer)

disconnect from net

process new unit, quit when done
(setiathome -stop_after_process)
end loop

Thanks for the help.

Take a look at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/boinc_cmd.php

I hope this helps.

Nothing seems to pop out as how I would get something
similar to work from this page. Any other docs?

Thanks,

Vinh

I used a very similar-sounding script with Classic,
because my network connection is an on-request (not
on-demand) dial-up (using diald(8)). I too am very
baffled, and do not yet see a way of acheiving a
similar effect with BOINC.

One *guess* at the moment is to periodically poll
using "boinc_cmd get_<stuff>" and parse the output
to determine when to bring the link up (and then to
also, probably, issue the correct commands, such as
"update"(?) to boinc). But that is just a guess,
and I have not tried it yet.
