Boinc startup script, pid & BOINC OPTS

[Skip Guenter]

This may be the wrong place... but I don't know where else to place.  My 
apologies in advance if  I am misusing this list.

Suggest an additional comment be added to the /etc/default/boinc-client 
start up config file that comes with the boinc-client package.

Something to the effect of "Use of the --daemon parameter in the 
BOINC_OPTS= parms will cause problems with the stop, status and restart 
options when using /etc/init.d/boinc-client [option]."

See post #10 in this thread: --daemon problem 
<http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4406159#post4406159>

Systems showing the problem with package installed boinc:

Ubuntu Gutsy, 32bit
Ubuntu Gutsy, 64bit
Xubuntu Gutsy, 32bit
Xubuntu Gutsy, 64bit

Verified on various hardware:
AMD and Intel hardware,
Semprons, Althon 64 X2s, Intel Q6600s. 
Various Biostar, Winfast, Gigabyte and Asus motherboards.
