Not currently. The main program must be a file downloaded from the server.
We could potentially change this, but I'm not sure it would be useful. If the BOINC client were to invoke a python interpreter directly, the resulting job would not response to suspend or quit commands, and its CPU time would always show as zero. It might be better to use the wrapper, which could easily be modified to run shell commands rather than execute files. -- David Jeremy Cowles wrote: > Is it possible to specify an arbitrary command as the main program within > BOINC? > For example, there was some discussion about how to invoke a Python > interpreter, would it be possible to specify something like: python <arg1> > <arg2> etc.., without sending the Python interpreter (assuming it was > already installed)? > -- _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
