I've been running Boinc as a daemon for a while using 5.8.xx and it was working fine. I upgraded to 5.10.xx it stopped working. Boinc would not start up the projects unless I specified to run all the time, but I wanted it to start after 10 minutes. It would work if I was running the BoincManager, but not if it was run as a daemon. Is this a known issue or is there a better way to get it to run as a daemon?

I run it this way cause I don't like having the Boinc icon in my dock or in the menu bar. I want it to be completely in the background and also able to run regardless of who is logged in (or even on the loginscreen). I'm not set on this method of hiding the app, but I would like to figure out how to get it run like this with the 5.10 branch. Below is an explanation of what I did.

To get boinc to run as a daemon at startup, I placed the following code (with execute bit set) in: /Library/StartupItems/Boinc/Boinc

#!/bin/sh
. /etc/rc.common
ConsoleMessage "Starting TiVo Desktop"
cd /Library/Application\ Support/BOINC\ Data
/Applications/BOINCManager.app/Contents/Resources/boinc -return_results_immediately & > /tmp/Boinc.tmp

I put the following code in: /Library/StartupItems/Boinc/StartupParameters.plist

{
    Description     = "Boinc";
    Provides        = ("Boinc");
    OrderPreference = "Late";
    Messages = {
        start = "Starting Boinc";
        stop  = "Stopping Boinc";
    };
}
