BOINC Apps

[JigPu]

For any people who just transfered their farms over, here's two apps that can be used for monitoring the progress of BOINC, etc.

BoincSpy (http://www3.telus.net/BoincSpy/)
BoincView (http://boincview.amanheis.de/)

BoincSpy and BoincView are both fairly nice monitoring programs (both somewhat similar to their predecessors of SetiSpy and SetiWatch), though I favor the latter since I can monitor the whole farm (...even if it's only 2 comps :p) from my computer.

BOINCView is still in BETA/Development stage, however it's author lays out plans for growth into a very full featured application. One thing for certain, BOINCView at present makes monitoring a LINUX Client from a Windows Machine almost foolproof(the proof of this is that I was able to do it and I'm "The Village Idiot") by using RPC's, which means you don't have to setup any filesharing between the Linux and Windows machines.
