Using Project Control Scripts
From Unofficial BOINC Wiki

[edit] General
The Project Control Scripts allows the Project Team to manage the BOINC Server Systems and control the state of the Project.
[edit] Starting and Stopping a Project
While a BOINC Powered Project is stopped, all of its Daemons are stopped, the Scheduler returns 'project down' messages, and the Project Web Site displays a 'Project down' page. No database accesses occur while a Project is stopped. A Project should be stopped during most maintenance functions (such as upgrading software).
The following scripts (in bin/) control a Project:
start
To Start the Project.
stop
To Stop the Project.
cron (invoked as 'start --cron')
If the project is started, perform all periodic tasks that are past due, and start any Daemons that aren't running. Otherwise do nothing.
status
Show whether the project is stopped. Show the status of all Daemons. Show the status of all periodic tasks (e.g., when they were last executed).
[edit] Turning off the Scheduler
If you want to turn off the Scheduler but leave everything else running, create a file named:
stop_sched
in the Project Directory. Remove it to reactivate the Scheduler Daemon.
