    Hello together,

    I searched around quite some time already and I would like to ask if there is any option to run Einstein without installing BOINC manager ?

    I would like to run it from a command line directly.

    Of course I know that the BOINC manager is responsible for downloading and uploading the WUs, but isn't there another way to help ?

      No.

      Technically, you can run any

        Technically, you can run any project from the command line, by only starting up Boinc.exe

        Quote:
        [pre]Usage: boinc [options]
        -help show options
        -version show version info
        -exit_when_idle Get/process/report work, then exit
        -show_projects show attached projects
        -return_results_immediately contact server when have results
        -detach_project detach from a project
        -reset_project reset (clear) a project
        -attach_project attach to a project
        -update_prefs contact a project to update preferences
        -run_cpu_benchmarks run the CPU benchmarks
        -check_all_logins for idle detection, check remote logins too
        -allow_remote_gui_rpc allow remote GUI RPC connections
        -redirectio redirect stdout and stderr to log files
        -dir use given dir as BOINC home[/pre]

        If you are already attached to a project, you can just start up boinc.exe these days and it will rip. If you want to do something on the side, you start up boincmgr.exe to start up the visual representation tool of the manager.

        If you're looking for speed, thinking that the command line option will be faster then the graphical version, know that it's all the same program running.
        If you don't want the Boinc icon in the system tray, why not install Boinc as a network install then?

          Hello again,

          thx, Ageless, I just also found this option and I'm running now on three additional computers :

          Whetstones Drystones
          Hermes : 1939 3231
          Hera : 2644 3218
          Zeus : 653 1146

          together : 5236 7595

          I guess that will help a little for the project.

          I need to shutdown the stuff fast as soon as my boss is popping in ;)

            Whoa!!

            I sincerely hope that you got your boss's permission to load and run the BOINC programs - point being, others have fallen by the wayside due to companies taking a very dim view of using "their toys" to do work outside "their sphere of influence/control".

            Do not jeapordize your business life ...

              In fact my boss's only concern is that the machines are breaking down faster due to the higher CPU temperature when running full speed around the clock.

              Infact my AMD at home is permanently running around 85 degrees have to purchase a better cooler.
