BOINCprog

Image of BOINCprog in action

BOINCprog is a small graphical utility to help Linux users monitor progress of BOINC projects. The app reads BOINC's client_state.xml file once every 5 seconds to get a progress update for the work unit currently being crunched. Please note that BOINCprog only works on systems for which a single CPU is crunching WUs. Systems utilizing multiple CPUs will only see the first active slot reported.

BOINCprog can run as a KDE Panel/Gnome Tray application. To facilitate running multiple instances of the program for monitoring multiple BOINC installations on NFS mounts, BOINCprog writes its BOINC installation directory as the window title.

2006-08-15: BOINCprog 1.1.6 is released. This is a minor maintenance release.

This version fixes a bug that left the deadline in place from the previous workunit when BOINC was currently out of work. Added the ability to disable the GPL splash screen (at last!). See the ChangeLog and startboincprog script for details.
