<p>

BOINC can be run as a Windows service.
|
|
|
|
|
This requires the command-line interface (CLI) version of the core client,
|
|
|
|
|
which is not available for download;
|
|
|
|
|
you'll have to build it from the source code
|
|
|
|
|
using Visual Studio .Net.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
If you haven't already run BOINC on the machine,
|
|
|
|
|
you'll need to run through the setup procedure
|
|
|
|
|
(using either the CLI or the GUI client)
|
|
|
|
|
in order to establish the
|
|
|
|
|
account* files which are needed for the project URLs and authenticators.
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Then put the CLI executable (boinc_cli.exe) into the BOINC folder.
|
|
|
|
|
Type this from the commandline:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
boinc_cli -install
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will setup BOINC as a Windows service which can be started on boot
|
|
|
|
|
and will be hidden from view.
|
|
|
|
|
If you are executing this on a Windows 2003 machine
|
|
|
|
|
the default user account that is chosen is 'Network
|
|
|
|
|
Service' which means you'll need to grant Read/Write/Execute/Delete permissions
|
|
|
|
|
to the client folder and all of its children before attempting to start
|
|
|
|
|
the service.
|
|
|
|
|
On Windows XP and older systems the client currently sets
|
|
|
|
|
itself up as local system.
