Automatic startup on Unix

Users have contributed scripts for automatic startup of BOINC on various versions of Unix:

• Red Hat Linux. (includes general instructions for installing on Unix systems).
• BOINC on Debian Linux.
• Linux with KDE.
• Red Hat 9, should also work on Solaris
• Gentoo Linux (from Gabor Nagy)
• HPUX (mostly relevant to UNIX in general)
• An init script for running BOINC under SuSE Linux (9.2 and 9.3)

Automatic startup on Mac OS X

Note: the Mac Standard GUI installation arranges for BOINC to run on user login.

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 Mac administrator tools.

If you install the command-line client and want it to start automatically when each user logs in, see the Instructions from Berki Yenigun, deadsmile at minitel.net "; page_tail(); ?>
