SYNOPSIS

update-boinc-applinks [options]

DESCRIPTION

update-boinc-applinks creates (or removes) symbolic links for anonymous BOINC applications and their associated app_info.xml files in a given BOINC data directory.

Note: update-boinc-applinks is an extension for Debian users and is only available in Debian's boinc-client package.

OPTIONS

For a full summary of options, run update-boinc-applinks --help.

-h, --help

Show help message and all options.

--create

Create symbolic links and project directories.

--remove

Remove symbolic links and empty project directories.

--data-dir=DIR

Manage symbolic links in the given directory DIR. If this option is not present, DIR defaults to the current working directory.

--project=PROJECT

Manage symbolic links only for the given project PROJECT. Run update-boinc-applinks --list-projects to get a list of projects for which anonymous applications are available and therefore can be replaced with PROJECT. If this option is not present, update-boinc-applinks will manage symbolic links for all available projects.

--list-projects

Show a list of projects for which anonymous applications are available. Normally those applications are provided by packages called boinc-app-PROJECT (e.g. boinc-app-seti).
