Raistmer:
Hm... Did you stop boinc service before? (We talk about Windows host, right? )

_heinz:
Hi nevica,
you must login as superuser with the command: su
then you can change permission with
chmod -R 777 /your_foldername

this give you full acces to the folder, for better understanding read the man pages

nevica:
Hello Raistmer,

sorry for the delay in getting back to you but the command:

net stop boinc

is not recognised

Returned is:

bash: net: command not found

Any ideas?

Nevica

Raistmer:
well, you use *nix system, not Windows
I wrote command line for stopping service under windows system (WinNT).

Hi nevica if you are stillaround:
Raistmer was answering a question in the "LINUX" forum with "WINDOWS" commands, even after poster stated he ran LINUX in the post. Huh?
nevica:
You have to use the "su" command or log on as "root" to add the files, if you don't want to get into changing the permissions of the BOINC folder and all the includeed files. So open a terminal and type "su" and enter password or log out and log back in as "root".
 Then you need the "PID" of the BOINC app to issue the kill command to the running app, or if you run KDE as a GUI, you could open up a command window and type " KSysguard", right click on the "boinc" app listed and kill it, or copy it's PID number listed there and issue the commands (no quotes) :
"su"
then your password
#kill (the number ilisted for Boinc in Ksysguard)
click enter

This should stop boinc.

Then you must upack the seti program file you downloaded. That would be another command on the file to unpack it.  Then use the copy command "cp", to copy the files (like the file "setiathome-5.15.i686-pc-linux-gnu"  ) downloaded  and extracted from this site to the BOINC folder sometimes located in /root/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/.
Then restart boinc by navigating to the boinc folder and in the command window type "boinc"
