+For headless operation, a start up script is included. The script will
+execute as root with the data directory as '/var/lib/boinc_data'.
+Modify as needed:
+
+BOINC_DIR=/var/lib/boinc_data # directory of boinc files
+BOINC_USER=root # user that will run boinc process
+
+Refer to the boinc manpage for parameters you can add to
+BOINC_OPTIONS.
+
+To run boinc on boot, add the following code to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.boinc ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.boinc start
+fi
+
+and to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown
+
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.boinc ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.boinc stop
+fi
+
+Note: The default configuration enables boinc control on the running
+host via boinccmg or boincmgr on th same running host. To truly run
+headless, you will need to configure boinc to allow RPC access from
+another host.
