Line-By-Line Explanation

1. Starting BOINC client version '(version)' for '(os)'
   • This message indicates that the BOINC Client Software is starting.
2. Executing as a daemon
   • This message indicates that the BOINC Client Software was installed as a Daemon (in Microsoft Windows® terms, a service). There is no equivalent message (at this time) for the other installation modes.
3. Data directory: '(directory-path)'
   • This outputs the location of the BOINC Client Software. Note that the path is given in a normal Windows format.
4. BOINC is running as a service and as a non-system user.
   • Just telling us the privileges assigned to the BOINC Client Software.
5. No application graphics will be available.
   • Because the BOINC Client Software was installed as a Daemon no graphics outputs are available.
6. Found app_info.xml; using anonymous platform
   • The Participant's Computer is running a custom version of one of the Science Applications.
7. Computer ID: not assigned yet; location: '(venue)'; project prefs: '(venue-prefs)'
   • Because the Participant's Computer has not yet successfully completed a Scheduler Request with the Project's Scheduling Server the Project has not yet assigned a Host ID to the computer.
   • Note: Because of this, there is not a Host ID, Venue is unknown, and the configuration for the LHC@Home Project is "default".
8. Computer ID: '(computer-id)'; location: '(venue)'; project prefs: '(venue-prefs)'
   • This message details the basic configuration information about the Participant's Computer for a particular Project. It lists the assigned Host ID, Venue, and the Preference Set that will be used for thisProject.
9. General prefs: from '(project)' (last modified yyyy-mm-dd hh-mm-ss)
   • This lists the source Project and the time that the General Preferences were updated.
10. General prefs: using separate prefs for '(venue)'
    • The Participant has assigned Preference setting to a Venue and these Preferences are being used in place of the Default Preferences.
11. Remote control allowed
    • This message indicates that the Participant has configured his BOINC Client Software so that it can be monitored by another computer on the local network with the BOINC Manager or other similar applications (BOINC-View, etc.).

Line-By-Line Explanation

1. Starting BOINC client version '(version)' for '(os)'
   • This message just tells us that we are starting up the BOINC Client Software.
2. Host location: '(venue)'
   • This message identifies the Host Venue to be used to assign Preferences to this Host. In this case the Venue to be used is "Home" (the default).
3. Using your default project prefs
   • This messsage indicates that there have not been any Venues created for the Project Preferences.
4. Using your default project prefs
   • This messsage indicates that there have not been any Venues created for the Project Preferences.
5. Found app_info.xml; using anonymous platform
   • This message tells us that the Science Application to be used for this Project (SETI@Home) is not the standard, Project provided Science Application.
6. Host ID is 'x'
   • This message lists the Host ID assigned to the Participant's Computer by the Project. Because there are two Projects, each of which has its own unique Host ID for the computer, there are two entries in the log, one for each Project.
7. Host ID is 'x'
   • See above.
8. General prefs: from '(project)' (last modified yyyy-mm-dd hh-mm-ss)
   • This message identifies the Project which provided the most up-to-date General Preferences to this Participant's Computer and the date when they were last updated.
9. General prefs: using your defaults
   • The General Preferences will be using the Default Preferences because no Preference Venue has been created for the General Preferences.
10. Resuming computation for result '(result)' using '(science application)' version '(version)'
    • Back to work!
