BOINC 6.10.58 will simply sit holding up the system boot - it starts running and can be killed - only by killing the boinc_client process will init continue to boot. Same issue when trying /etc/init.d/boinc Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot system with boinc at default run level 2. system shows : starting boinc... 3. Have to kill boinc to resume booting Same issue when using /etc/init.d/boinc to start boinc. Actual Results: Boinc gets stuck. Expected Results: Boinc should start and then go into background This can be fixed by adding '&' to the end of the command line to start the boinc process. Line: 78 eval ${CHRT} start-stop-daemon \ --start --quiet --chdir "${RUNTIMEDIR}" \ --make-pidfile \ --pidfile "${PIDFILE}" \ --chuid "${USER}:${GROUP}" \ --nicelevel "${NICELEVEL}" \ --exec "${BOINCBIN}" ${PARAMS} &
Using stable baselayout or openrc? Please provide emerge --info. Also try to recompile boinc, i updated the initscript, but didnt yet bumped the package because i am not sure it fixed all issues.
Whoops, forgot the important stuff.

I was advised after posting the bug to re-emerge as the package had been updated but I have not yet tried this as it was working for me. Believe that this was worth posting here but looking at when Klindt posted I'm presuming the bug still exists in the newest version.
Still happen, with boinc 6.10.58. The & workaround applied. I note the following part of the diff while etc-update from boinc-6.10.18 : if [ -n "${RC_UNAME}" ]; then PARAMS="--background --stdout '${LOGFILE}' --stderr '${LOGFILE}' -- ${ARGS}" else - PARAMS="-- ${ARGS} >> '${LOGFILE}' 2>&1 &" (-9 to discard all updates AND not use 'rm -i'): 1
I can confirm this bug. I have just synched my tree and reemerged boinc. When "start"ing the init script it hangs. When "restart"ing the init script it gives ---------- * Please use 'svc_stop; svc_start' and not 'stop; start' to * restart the service in its custom 'restart()' function. * Run boinc without arguments for more info. * Starting BOINC ...

Fixed in latest version
I updated to sci-misc/boinc-6.10.58-r1 today, and after a reboot boinc freezes just like the bug report. Didn't happen to me with 6.10.58, but does happen now. re-synced, and re-emerged just now, problem remains, except it didn't happen to me until now.
Below is what I'm using now - I dont know how to do the diff thing, but this works without errors for me on ~amd64 #!/sbin/runscript opts="${opts} attach" PIDFILE=/var/run/boinc.pid depend() { # we can use dns and net, but we can also in most cases live without them use dns net } create_work_directory() { if [ ! -d "${RUNTIMEDIR}" ]; then einfo "Directory ${RUNTIMEDIR} not existing, creating now." mkdir "${RUNTIMEDIR}" chown "${USER}:${GROUP}" "${RUNTIMEDIR}" if [ ! -d "${RUNTIMEDIR}" ]; then eeror "Directory ${RUNTIMEDIR} could not be created!" return 1 fi ln -s /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt "${RUNTIMEDIR}"/ca-bundle.crt fi } generate_logs() { if [ ! -f "${LOGFILE}" ]; then einfo "No ${LOGFILE} around.

Infact, I'm almost sure that 'boinc' has a --daemon flag, shouldn't this be passed too?
(In reply to comment #10) > Infact, I'm almost sure that 'boinc' has a --daemon flag, shouldn't this be > passed too? Correct - boinc does have a --daemon flag and I tried it before finding this bug page. However, be aware when I used --daemon in the init file - I no longer got output to my log files. See 3 combinations below: /etc/init.d/boinc (key line) *STUCK IN INIT* ==> PARAMS="-- ${ARGS} >> '${LOGFILE}' 2>&1" *NO LOGGING/INIT OK* ==> PARAMS="-- ${ARGS} --daemon >> '${LOGFILE}' 2>&1" *NO ISSUES* ==> PARAMS="-- ${ARGS} >> '${LOGFILE}' 2>&1 &" Thus, the only way I was able to get the daemon to background correctly -and- the log files to work properly was to add the & at the end of the key line.
