Linux Boinc Client Commands

[IronBits]

I found this, but it makes my head hurt
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/UnixClient
Can one of you that runs Boinc via *nix give me a suggestion or two to run Boinc client from a ssh terminal on a remote computer?
I am trying to see if I can get one of my PS3s using YDL to run Boinc from the command line.
Can I also monitor and control it from BoincView.exe on a Windows box? (once I figure out how to get it running)
I went here http://www.ps3grid.net and downloaded the BOINC client for a full Linux installation. http://www.ps3grid.net/PS3GRID/PS3client/boinc_client_ps3grid.tgz
extracted all the files to Boinc directory, but in a ssh terminal I can't use Boinc_mgr to attach to the PS3GRID project.
Also found this page with more information

Absolutely you can control it from Boincview..

just edit a file named remote_hosts.cfg and put in the name/IP of the host running boincview OR start boinc with

./boinc -allow_remote_gui_rpc

Also edit a file named gui_rpc_auth.cfg with the password to connect..

Once done, do everything from boincview..

Oh ya, I could do it that way huh? ! :thumbs:
I might do one PS3, just so we can rack up some points on that project and to see what it does...

Didn't work, must need to open a port in YDL someplace or something.

I need the command lines to attach to project http://www.ps3grid.net/PS3GRID/
I already have the login id and password, gonna have to read more docs, just figured someone would know what it was off the top of their head.

Well, I attached to it with my windows box to create the .xml files, copied those .xml files to the PS3 and ./boinc

Looks like it's having problems getting some files, but I'm getting somewhere. ;)
