You'll probably want to arrange
to run the executable each time your machine boots or you log on.
Some examples follow.
<h2> Automatic startup on Unix</h2>
<p>
Users have contributed scripts for automatic
startup of BOINC on various versions of Unix:

<ul>
<li>
<a href=http://www.spy-hill.net/~myers/help/boinc/unix.html>Red Hat Linux</a>.
(includes general instructions for installing on Unix systems).
<li>
<a href=http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-boinc/>BOINC on Debian Linux</a>.
<li>
<a href=autostart_unix.txt>Linux with KDE</a>.
<li>
<a href=autostart_dennett.txt>Red Hat 9, should also work on Solaris</a>
<li>
<a href=gentoo.txt>Gentoo Linux</a> (from Gabor Nagy)
<li>
<a href=hpux.html>HPUX</a> (mostly relevant to UNIX in general)
<li> <a href=http://rigo.altervista.org/tools/>An init script for running BOINC under SuSE Linux (9.2 and 9.3)</a>
</ul>

<h2> Automatic startup on Mac OS X</h2>
<p>
Note: the Mac Standard GUI installation arranges for BOINC to run on user login.
<p>
To automatically run BOINC as a daemon or system service at boot time, or to prevent BOINC from launching 
automatically when selected users log in, see the <a href=mac_admin_tools.php>Mac administrator tools</a>.
<p>
If you install the command-line client and want it to start automatically when each user logs in, see the 
<a href=mac_yenigun.php>Instructions from Berki Yenigun</a>, deadsmile at minitel.net
