The systemctl requires you to copy the file with the :port added, and then you have to modify it with the users name. I also tried running boinc via systemctl, and it would start, but they would only run at about 33% of the cpu, whereas running them directly would use 98% or higher. You do have to create the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file, and make sure the service is running, since it isn't by default. > > -- > users mailing list > users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users > Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have > a question?
