Subject: [gentoo-user] Passing arguments to BOINC

1 Hello list,
2
3 I'm trying to get BOINC not to use the GPU on this machine, and it has a
4 command-line option --no_gpus. Looking at /etc/init.d/boinc, I see that it
5 allows for ARGS to have been set by the user. I've tried setting this thus:
6
7 ARGS="--no_gpus" /etc/init.d/boinc start
8
9 ...but projects still tell it to use the GPU, and those I've checked don't
10 allow separate choices on separate machines.
11
12 I'll raise a problem with BOINC if I hear nothing here, but I just wanted to
13 check here. TiA.
