Created attachment 585910 [details] Boinc Fedora instructions Description of problem: The boinc clint does not create daemon script in /etc/init.d/boinc-client. The documentation in /usr/shar/doc/boinc-client-6.12.43/USAGE_FEDORA says: " ..... What the installer does 1. Creates the daemon script at /etc/init.d/boinc-client. ......

This is because init.d is not udes anymore but system.d. Daemon script is there : /usr/lib/systemd/system/boinc-client But it has a problem anyway. systemd cannot recognize it because its name should be 'boinc-client.service'. I did the following to fix the service problem: #cd /usr/lib/systemd/system #ln -s boinc-client boinc-client.service
This is solved by https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/boinc-client-6.12.43-2.r25218svn.fc17
Boinc-client services now seem to work properly. Documenation now seems consistant with system behavior.
