How to get Boinc on a Mac without GUI [resolved]

Has anyone figured out how to get Boinc running on a Mac running OS X (10.5.5) without any GUI? I want to install it at one of our publishing offices, but there is no way to run it in the background so there is nothing for the user to fiddle with or quit it.

I know there is a command line verison of Boinc for Mac, but i've no idea how to use it, and how to start it automatically at boot.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

And in the page provided by brinktastee don't miss the hyperlink to boinc_cmd which is what you will need to manage Boinc without BoincMgr.

Cheers. Jean.
