Boinc Monitor 2.0
(Plasmoid Script)
Boinc Monitor is a plasmoid written in python that allows you to monitor the activities of BOINC directly on your desktop. It shows the progress work by each individual core of your PC with reference to the ram used by the process, the percentage of the work done and the time elapsed. Also shows the numbers of workunits in pending, cached and finished, and the last few lines of the BOINC log.
OPTIONS:
BOINC folder path – The path of BOINC working folder. Default: /var/lib/boinc-client/
BOINC user name – The name of your BOINC user. Default: boinc
Preferred project – Your favorite project to display (name, credits, team). Default: None.
Update interval – The refresh interval of the plasmoid. Default: 1 minute.
Log line numbers – The number of log line to show. Default: 5 lines.
Cut Log line after – The number of characters after which the line of the log is cut. Default: 95 chars.
Cpu load limit – The minimum rate of the CPU workload to show the workunit. Default: 20%.
[S/R] wait timeout – The waiting time after a suspend/resume call. Default: 5 seconds.
IMPORTANT:
For a perfect view of the plasmoid the system must have the “Verdana” font installed.
INSTRUCTIONS:
To get plasmoid that works well is necessary to copy the file boinc-monitor from the docs folder to the folder /etc/sudoers.d/ (need root privileges).
If your BOINC user is not “boinc”, please edit the file and replace it with your BOINC username.
Remember that the boinc-monitor file must be in mode 0440 (sudo chmod 0440 boinc-monitor).
Pay attention if in your /etc/sudoers there is the line – #includedir /etc/sudoers.d – otherwise the file boinc-monitor cannot be parsed. Thanks to Thomas Gorzka for his time!
