Hi,
I have Fedora 30 and boinc client & manager the issue is that when joining to project my /home/lummet/ directory gets populated with xml files and data etc. I want to boinc to run in /home/lummet/.BOINC directory so that my home directory is clean off the all xml data etc. question is so how or where do I add a soft or hard link that points boinc to /home/lummet/.BOINC directory when running so that home directory stays clean.

Obviously, Timo, you don't want to run BOINC as a service.
----------------------------------------I'm assuming you started boinc or boincmgr from a menu. If you want BOINC to run from a different directory as a user, start a terminal, then change directory to - in your case - .BOINC, then start boinc, e.g.: (cd ~/.BOINC && boinc) &After that, start boincmgr if necessary. EDIT: After reading a part of the boinc manual page, another method would be to start boinc with the --dir option from the command line, like this: boinc --dir ~/.BOINC & [Edit 2 times, last edit by adriverhoef at Jun 2, 2019 4:56:45 PM] |
