Package: boinc-client
Version: 6.10.58+dfsg-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi!
When I start boinc-client with the init script, I get the following error
message :
r...@razor:~# /etc/init.d/boinc-client start
Starting BOINC core client: boinc.
Setting up scheduling for BOINC core client and children: idle,usage: renice
priority [ [ -p ] pids ] [ [ -g ] pgrps ] [ [ -u ] users ]
usage: renice priority [ [ -p ] pids ] [ [ -g ] pgrps ] [ [ -u ] users ]
usage: renice priority [ [ -p ] pids ] [ [ -g ] pgrps ] [ [ -u ] users ]
chrt failed.
This is caused by minor argument error in the init script (renice -n
$NICELEVEL -p $PID instead renice $NICELEVEL -p $PID).
The attached patch solves the problem.
Cheers,
