Bug#490543: boinc-manager: leaves apps in memory even if request not to

[Sandro Tosi]

Package: boinc-manager
Version: 6.2.11-1
Severity: normal

Hello,
boinc-manager is configured not to leave apps in memory if not running:

$ grep leave_apps_in_memory /etc/boinc-client/global_prefs_override.xml 
   <leave_apps_in_memory>0</leave_apps_in_memory>

but they are left there:

# ps aux | grep boinc

while only PID 24879 24959 31290 31291 are really running (other
processes are boinc itself), and I see the 2 garli processes in "Waiting
to run" state on boincmgr.

Regards,
Sandro
