Package: boinc-client Version: 6.10.17+dfsg-1 Severity: normal Hi,
Sometimes I get this message when starting BOINC: /etc/init.d/boinc-client: 212: cannot create /proc/5517/oom_adj: Directory nonexistent It turns out that BOINC calls 'uname' to determine the platform and the pid of the 'uname' process sometimes gets included in $children, but the 'uname' process finishes before the init script has a chance to set oom_adj. I suggest adding "2>/dev/null || true" after "echo ... > .../oom_adj".
