Thanks, Sekerob!
I'll try it tomorrow at class and I'll tell you.

Thank you very much!!

Actually, if you become a WCG partner you can have multiple sub-teams under a single user and get personalized support from professionals, not amateur volunteers like me. Involving the pupils ** would set the seed ;>)

PS, Ommadawn, if you look in the cc_config.xml instructions you can set to prevent use of the new project attach function and also lock in the Simple View for additional control when allowing others to look into the interface and see the graphics.

<disallow_attach>1</disallow_attach>
<simple_gui_only>1</simple_gui_only>

Else, installing protected mode only should shield the installs.

** loving the Americanisms, even children of 5 going to kindergarten are referred to by some as our students

For almost anything a solution, though I don't know if it works under Linux:

<start_delay>nseconds</start_delay>

where the delay for this cc_config.xml BOINC <options> function to start is in whole seconds. I've got it on 60 seconds... just enough to get quickest access to the computer.

Ommadawn,

Detached is a state where a device had the WCG project detached whilst it still had work assigned, discussed in this FAQ: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=6105

I returned to planet Earth over half a century ago and had a hard landing. The VTO engines are broken since... as of then can only move [near] horizontal and in the course learned a few tongues to speak. Calling home has not worked so far, so fear I'll have to stay till my latter days and pester homo sapiens sapiens suffering under the weight of 1G

edit:

PS, there is a command you can execute remote instructions with the boinccmd tool http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Boinccmd_tool to force the reading of the new cc_config.xml files without the need to restart the client. It's

boinccmd --host 192.168.1.xxx --read_cc_config

I just tested this and it works from a command window [admin rights]. There's a sample how to do this for a group of devices in the wiki.

Thank you Sekerob!

I still haven't understood the meaning for "Detached"

Could you expain me it with another words?

Am I doing anything wrong? All of my students computers are returning "detached" in their results... This evening I'll configure the XML file and maybe it will be ok, maybe...

Thanks
