|
|
The BOINC core client can be controlled by command-line options,
|
|
configuration files, and environment variables.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>These features are generally useful only for
|
|
advanced users.</b>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Configuration files</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
BOINC uses the following configuration files.
|
|
You can pre-populate these files to control BOINC in various ways.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> <a href=client_files.php>Account files</a>: each done
|
|
describes an attached project.
|
|
<li> <a href=prefs_override.php>global_prefs_override.xml</a>: override global prefernces
|
|
<li> <a href=client_msgs.php>log_flags.xml</a>: control message logging
|
|
<li> <a href=gui_rpc.php>remote_hosts.cfg</a>: hosts from which remote GUI RPCs is allowed
|
|
<li> <a href=gui_rpc.php>gui_rpc_auth.cfg</a>: GUI RPC password
|
|
<li> <a href=client_startup.php>project_init.xml</a>: startup project
|
|
<li> <a href=client_startup.php>acct_mgr_url.xml</a>: account manager URL
|
|
<li> <a href=client_startup.php>acct_mgr_login.xml</a>: account manager login
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>Command-line options</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The core client has
|
|
command-line options that provide minimal control
|
|
(e.g. the ability attach and detach projects).
|
|
<p>
|
|
More detailed control, and the ability to interact
|
|
with a running client, is provided by the
|
|
<a href=boinc_cmd.php>BOINC command tool</a>.
